The protestants are not branches of Orthodoxy in any way, they may be branches of roman catholicism but not of Orthodoxy.
There is no such thing as Orthodoxy being the root and those of other dogmas being branches. Protestantism are not churches they are heresies and are cast off from the vine (or should we say there mother the RC was). The branch theory is heresy and what the said bishop of the OP claimed fits the bill. Any departure from Orthodoxy withers and dies. The entire tree is the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church which is the Orthodox Church and there is only a falling away from that tree, a cutting off (anathemas).
The Body of Christ is not fragmented in any way. The ecumenists may have confused many into their error, but the Gospel does not lie. Not a bone of Him was broken.The Church is not fragmented, broke into parts, or severed into sections. Likewise Christ was not beheaded like the Baptist, the Head is not severed from the One Body of Christ. It is one unified hypostasis not 33,000.
