Presbyterians draw their name from the way they are organized, adapting the Greek New Testament work for "elder". They felt that Martin Luther had not gone quite far enough. Presbyterian and Reformed churches while expressing great appreciation for Luther, sought to lead the church still closer to the biblical church of the apotles. John Calvin's wor "Institute of the Christian Religion" is clear that nothing happens apart from the will of God.

Martin Luther a Catholic monk of the early 1500 believe that both the Catholic and Orthodox had gotten off course, ever so slightly. He seeks for the Catholic church to move back to the path of the Apotles. He wrote 95 theses which were translated into German by sympathizers and printed by the newly invented printing press and distributed widely. Protestant branch of the Christianity was born when the Catholic church refused to acknowledge its abuses. It came to be called the Protestant Reformation.

There are 82.6 Lutherans in the world today.

Catholics make up the largest group of Christians in the world. Catholic means "Universal". Catholics believe that the Roman Catholic Church is the true church of the apostles and that the Orthodox and the Protestants have broken off.
