Catholic Churches are built for one reason, and one reason only, to give greater glory to God, and to be a worthy home for Him, especially in the Eucharist, which is reserved in every Catholic Church. Protestant churches do not have Jesus in the Eucharist and thus are no more than meeting houses where people gather for prayer, the entire orientation is different.

Is the Catholic church the name historians gavce formation of many protestant churches during the 16th century?
The name "catholic" means universal, so the "catholic church" is all the believers in Christ all over the world. The organized church was more (or less) one church until the Eastern Orthodox church split from the Roman Catholic church, which was (and is) headquartered in Rome. At the time of the Protestant Reformation, the Protestant churches left the rule of the Roman Catholic church and formed their own denominations (such as Lutherans, Baptists, Presbyterians). Sometimes people use the term "catholic" when they really should use the term Roman Catholic, so things can get confused.

There are also the six Oriental Orthodox Churches which are in commmunion with the pope of Alexandria, and the Assyrian Church in communion with the Patriarch of Selucia-Ctesiphon.There is no Protestant Church, per se, only a variety of protestant churches, and each can differ as much from the other as from either of the above two groups.
