In my dictionary, they are synonyms but their definitions are different.
Condemn: to state that someone or something is bad or wrong.
Denounce: to PUBLICLY state that someone or something is bad or wrong.
Shouldn't "Denounce" be synonym to protest/demonstrate?
So, am I correct? If I'm not, explain the difference between them please because they're confusing me.
Difference between "Condemn" and "Denounce"?

Condemn is a private statement.Denounce is a public statement.
The same statement possibly but communicated differently. Therefore not synonymous.

Condemn vs Denounce
You can condemn, in your opinion or judgement; regardless right or wrong, of anyone; you do not need anyone to concur to what you think. Condemn can sometimes be someone's bad mouthed about you.
Denounce is slightly different; Needing people to publicly concur to what you say is truth, you'll first need strong/undoubtable reasons (usually along with superiority in power) to denounce someone of his wrong doings. That's to say average Joe ain't got to denounce, so to speak. (lol)
