What was the Byzantine view of the Protestant Reformation?

The Byzantine Empire did not have a direct view of the Protestant Reformation as it had already fallen by the time the Reformation took place. The Byzantine Empire, also known as the Eastern Roman Empire, came to an end in 1453 with the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire. Therefore, it did not have any official stance or perspective on the Protestant Reformation.
