Protestantism (Ethics and Business)

In 1054 there was the first great schism between Orthodox Christianity (Eastern) and Catholic (West). In the sixteenth century, the other main division occurs: Protestantism.

Besides the religious cause; we must also take into account the economic, political, or social factors for understanding this schism.

Protestantism includes a large number of Churches (Calvinists, Lutherans, Baptists, Pentecostals) that refuse the Papal authority; they accept the principles of the Reform (“Righteousness by faith”), the possibility that any believer can be a priest, and above all the Bible as the authority and source of truth (Sola scriptura).

Of the 2,100 million Christians, there are about 800 million Protestants in the World.

When analysing the differences between Protestantism and Catholicism the student can be surprising, since ultimately the fundamental differences are not of confessional type, but rather on the importance that each of these Protestant churches gives to certain concepts.

The “Five Solas” synthesize the principles of this reform movement.

  1. Sola Scriptura (“by Scripture alone”);
  2. Sola Fide (“by faith alone”);
  3. Sola Gratia (“by grace alone”);
  4. Solo Christo (“Christ alone” or “through Christ alone”);
  5. Soli Deo Gloria (“Glory to God alone”).
