Protestant Theologians

I am writing with my apologetic hat today.  I was reading a book entitled The Writings of the New Testament by Luke Timothy Johnson.  In chapter 19 he writes that many theologians today take the position that the pastoral letters are inauthentic, that they were not written by Paul. I would venture to say that most of these scholars who take this position are protestant theologians, to me an oxymoron. The use the words protestant and theologian back to back or in succession is to place apparently contradictory terms in conjunction. Protestants cannot be theologians because they are not a part of the Church Christ started over 2000 years ago.  They are a members of churches started by renegade Catholic priests (Luther and Calvin) some 500 years ago. They teach false doctrine that Paul so often warned us about.  They are wolves in sheep’s clothing.  They were declared heretics by the universal church at the Council of Trent.  Johnson implies in his book that these “theologians” object to the pastoral letters as authentic because they “contain an elaborate ecclesial structure.” So called protestant theologians always object to any evidence that may support the supremacy of the Pope and the Catholic Church’s hierarchy. It’s the similar objection they make to the epistle of James who placed much emphasis on ‘works.’ The goal of most protestant theologians is to dismantle or weaken the universal church.  That is why most refuse to look outside of the four corners of the bible, in other words, they refuse to look at tradition. Many if not most Catholic priests and bishops can trace their rights of ordination back to the original apostles.  I would venture to say that these protestant theologians can only trace their roots to Calvin or Luther.  Many ask today why the church is losing membership and why the laity are so confused about morality? The answer is Protestant theologians.
