Umm, no. Protestants (being one myself) believe that the _Old_ and New
Testaments to be the word of God, and while the councils' writings are good
commentary, they aren't Scripture.

Catholic rites such as the Host are

The main problem with the Communion is the debate over the ideas that bread
and wine actually becoming the body and blood of Christ, or if it is simply
a feast to remember what Christ did for us. (I won't go into the whole
augrement, as it really has no end to it)

The rest of the post is snipped as it's accurate as far as I understand the
difference. There is a lot more to the debate, but this is the cook's list,
not a religious debate list (although those are out there too)
