Can you rebuke the pope?
Sure.
His Holiness? That hurt my protestant eyes.
The honorific His Holiness (Latin Sanctitas) is the official style used to address the Roman Catholic Pope and the Greek Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch. In February 2013, the Vatican announced that Pope Benedict XVI will retain the style "His Holiness" after resigning and becoming Pope Emeritus. The term is sometimes abbreviated or "HH" or "H.H." when confusion with "His/Her Highness" is unlikely. The associated form of address is "Your Holiness".

So, when you talk to the Pope, how do you refer to him? Holy Father or Your Holiness?
Well, OP established a list of 9 protestant errors and inventions FIVE YEARS AGO here http://www.christianforums.com/t7291830/#post48812223.
And now, that list consists of 57 errors and inventions. I wonder why.
Primarily because brother MoreCoffee decided to toss in various aberrant beliefs and practices common only to the outer fringes of Protestantism.
I noticed that. It should be the other way round. Work on major points of contention between Catholics and Protestants, and from there deal with the details, when needed.

I followed a Forumer and found this Thread. I am in a silly mood, though I take all Brothers and Sisters in Christ seriously, so when I saw 'So, when you talk to the Pope, how do you refer to him?' I immediately thought, in words;
Your Magisterium
I looked it up, and the grammar is questionable, but I am 'holler-rooted', so what the heck, I would bow reverently to Pope Francis and think (not say), 'Your Maisterium', make an awkward sign of the cross, stutter, 'And also to you' before he said, 'Peace be unto you', as I am not a cradle Catholic, look at him with such gratitude for his humbleness and guidance that he wouldn't mind anything I said, and then be rushed away by some button-down upper-handed whatever-you-call-em...
Carolyn, backs out of Thread, smiling like a goofer (yes, a goofer; it's a really handy term, if you're me).
You mean these guys?

If the Protestant Church had some self-definition of itself this wouldn't be an issue.
The point is that your unfunny list of acts and beliefs doesn't describe Protestantism. It describes SOME, a few, Protestants--just like Catholics believe amulets and "holy water" can ward off demons, burying a statue of St. Joseph upside down will get your house sold, or the bread actually bleeds when the priest raises it up for people to worship.When referring to the 'outer fringes of protestantism', in the face of the absence of a formal answer from the 'Protestant Church', is it safe to assume that those on the 'outer fringes of protestantism' are those whose beliefs and practices are those who have deviated most from the Catholic Church?
If not, then where's the standard? What's authentic protestantism?
Then boot the fringe groups from being ProtestantI agree. These peripheral items seem to be a smoke screen for more substantive discussion.

Then boot the fringe groups from being ProtestantYou mean they should not be addressed as Protestants because they don't believe exactly like your group?
This could get real confusing as I was thinking about adding Oneness
Pentecostalism as it arose out of Protestantism..
I think Oneness is mentioned at the end of the list,#57 Oneness (denying the Trinity) - some might think this is a non-christian sect's doctrine while others are inclined to believe that Oneness Pentecostalism is within the confines of Christianity.
Missed that. Seems you listed all the good ones. I must review the list to see if you got the snakehandlers but I think they are dying out
