The protestant church began mainly because many in the church believed the church as it was then to be corrupt. There was a great deal of reason behind this; for one thing the Church was selling indulgences - bits of paper 'guaranteeing' less time in purgatory for dead souls on payment of a hefty fee - which expolited the poor. Doctrines that crept in that were unbiblical (like purgatory) were also of concern. So too were practices of the church like the Inquisition, and the papacy - which was seen as very corrupt and megalomanic (power-hungry and contrary to Christ's teaching). Therefore there were those who protested at this corruption in the church (hence 'protestants') many of whom were led by monk Martin Luther of Germany who ended up forming the protestant Lutheran Church, and Henry VIII who formed the Church of England.
