Protestantism
Protestantism Branch of Christianity formed in protest against the practices and doctrines of the old
Roman Catholic Church. Protestants sought a vernacular Bible to replace the Latin
Vulgate, and to express individual elements of nationalism. According to tradition, the movement started when Martin
Luther nailed his
95 Theses to a church door in Wittenberg. His predecessors included John
Wycliffe and Jan
Hus. Later supporters included Ulrich
Zwingli and John
Calvin, whose interpretation of the Bible and concept of
predestination had great influence. The Protestants held the
Eucharist to be a symbolic celebration, as opposed to the Roman Catholic dogma of
transubstantiation, and claimed that because Christ is the sole medium between God and man, his function cannot be displaced by the priests of the Church.
