because both are sects of christianity. christianity is not a bunch of trees but each sect is part of one giant tree that branches out. even though you prune the tree the tree still grows back.

Well, the real problem is that the Protestant church formed out of the Catholic Church. The gree you are talking about started with the trunk, which is the Catholic Church, who can trace their history back to the apostles. The Protestants didn't like some of the things the church was doing (that stopped hundreds of years ago) and that the church was exercising its power politically, which was wrong.

Here's some more thoughts on the subject: Why the Apocrypha Isn't in the Protestant Bible. 1. Not one of the apocryphal books is written in the Hebrew language, which was alone used by the inspired historians and poets of the Old Testament. All Apocryphal books are in Greek, except one which is extant only in Latin. 2. None of the apocryphal writers laid claim to inspiration. 3. The apocryphal books were never acknowledged as sacred scriptures by the Jews, custodians of the Hebrew scriptures (the apocrypha was written prior to the New Testament). In fact, the Jewish people rejected and destroyed the apocrypha after the overthow of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. 4. The apocryphal books were not permitted among the sacred books during the first four centuries. 5. The Apocrypha contains fabulous statements which not only contradict the "canonical" scriptures but themselves. For example, in the two Books of Maccabees, Antiochus Epiphanes is made to die three different deaths in three different places. 6. The Apocrypha includes doctrines in variance with the Bible, such as prayers for the dead and sinless perfection.

The real key is to look at God's standards, not man's. Neither catholicism nor the protestant denominations will stand up to careful examination according to the Bible. Only the church that is truly based in the New Testament without adulteration by man's traditions will stand in the last day.

I think the answer to your question would be yes. The Protestant faith branched off of Catholicism and gets most of their traditions from the Catholic Church. Protestants says they left the Catholic Church because its "wrong" but deep down the teaching of the Catholic Church just didn't fit their needs/beliefs so they left and made their own church.

People are misguided into following just one belief. It would be like believing that Freud is the only correct psychologist and that Jung is a totally wrong. With education, we learn that life is not nature or nurture, it is a combination of both. People need to think similarly with their religious choices.

Everyone is wrong by someone else's standards! It's all because the christians changed the original standard (the bible) and therefore human judgement was involved.

Actually, they are both wrong. Man created your 'giant tree'.

the answer to your question depends on who you are, and which "side" you take. yes protestants are wrong, but if you are protestant then yes, because people only see what they want to see.
