Was Jesus a Catholic, a Protestant, Both or Neither? [View all]

From the article:

The world is increasing divided among various sects, each claiming to be the righteous one. The Christians identify themselves as Catholics, Protestants, Progressive or Liberal, and further are divided into various churches such as Episcopalians, Methodists, Lutherans, Eastern Orthodox and so on, each claiming to be the true followers of Jesus. Which then bags a similar question I asked of Muslims on my last post: Was Jesus a Catholic, a Protestant, both or neither?

Many of us are engaged actively, and appropriately, in interfaith dialogue. The interfaith workers are passionately involved in promoting peace and harmony among various faith traditions. But what about intra-faith dialogue? Are we equally passionate about promoting peace, understanding and harmony within our “own” religious traditions?

To that I may add: “What would Jesus call himself?” If you think he won’t call himself either Catholic, or Protestant, then should you?
