'''Judeo-Protestantism''' describes a purported connection between {{wp|Protestantism}}, early Protestant reformers, and current Protestant practitioners and the {{wp|Jewish religion}}, particularly with regards to {{wp|sola scriptura}} and its focus on written traditions. Popular in both [[Levantia]] and [[Kiravia]], the belief that Protestantism and Judaism are similar 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 {{wp|Supersessionism|supersessionist}} and continuing uninterrupted from the covenant of {{wp|Abraham}} through today, with both Judaism and Protestantism as 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.
'''Judeo-Protestantism''' describes a purported connection between {{wp|Protestantism}}, early Protestant reformers, and current Protestant practitioners and the {{wp|Jewish religion}}, particularly with regards to {{wp|sola scriptura}} and its focus on written traditions and their opposition to the [[Catholic Church]]. Judeo-Protestantism theories take a wide array of forms, but the most conventionally accepted one states that the party of the {{wp|Pharisees}} - the forbears of modern Judaism - were, in fact, the very first Protestants by means of their rejection of the salvific mission of {{wp|Jesus Christ}} and the authority of the {{wp|Apostles}}. Most theories describe relatively intricate lines of succession from the Pharisees - both implicit and explicit - through early Christian heretics and ending with the Protestant reformers. Varying versions of the theories include a literal succession as well as a symbolic succession in opposition to {{wp|Apostolic succession}} of the [[Catholic Church]]. Popular in both [[Levantia]] and [[Kiravia]], the belief generally describes that that Protestantism and Judaism are directly related inasmuch as both are "novel religions" in the sense that they are both belief systems which split off from the [[Catholic Church]]. In [[Urcea]], the [[Lebhan]] word "''Fariseen''" (Pharisee) is often used as a derogatory term for Protestants and almost certainly originated with Judeo-Protestant theory.
 
Judeo-Protestantism is derived from the relatively mainstream view of {{wp|Supersessionism|supersessionism}} - the view that the Mosaic covenant was superseded and replaced by the New Covenant and that the Catholic Church has fully succeeded the nation of {{wp|Ancient nation of Israel|Israel}}. Judeo-Protestantism moves beyond the conventional understanding by describing Judaism and Protestantism as not only connected with possible direct lines of succession, but it also describes both as being directly connected splinter groups which actively work together against the interests of 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.
