Judeo-Protestantism

Judeo-Protestantism describes a purported connection between Protestantism, early Protestant reformers, and current Protestant practitioners and the Jewish religion, particularly with regards to sola scriptura and its focus on written traditions. Popular in both Levantia and Kiravia, the belief that Protestantism and Judaism are directly related is rooted in the idea that both are "novel religions" in the sense that they are both belief systems which split off from the Catholic Church. In this context, the Catholic Church is understood by proponents to be supersessionist and continuing uninterrupted from the covenant of Abraham through today, with both Judaism and Protestantism as directly connected splinter groups which work against the interests of the Church. Some proponents of the idea also believe that adherents of Judaism and Protestantism actively work together to undermine the Church and Catholic society. Judeo-Protestantism as a concept has been rejected by nearly all high level theologians in the Catholic Church and has been described as a conspiracy theory by many social and religious scholars.
