The first protestants were mostly Catholics in the sixteenth century who decided that the Church that Jesus Christ founded for their salvation was the Church that Jesus Christ founded for their salvation and so that dreamed up their own. To do that, they came up with a novel idea of basing it on the Bible Alone. As Jesus Christ founded His Church on Peter the Apostle, and his successors, and the other Bishops, they realized they had to come up with something different. As the New Testament of the Bible was written entirely by the Catholic Church and preserved entirely by the Catholic Church they had to reinterpret it and put a different spin on it. As it wasn't put together until the late fourth century, they had to ignore four centuries of Christian history. In short protestants are the latest in the long list of heresies that the Catholic Church has dealt with since the beginning:

protestants to catholics
The Protestants and the Catholics have fought for many years in Ireland but it was for political reasons rather than religious ones. The Protestants wanted the head of the Church of England to rule which is the King or Queen of England. There isn't any fighting now.

Sinn Féin are pro-same-sex marriage, pro-abortion, liberal Young Protestants are in flute bands Young Catholics do Irish dancing Protestants see the Queen as their figure head Catholics see the Pope as their figure head Catholics have larger families because of disapproval of contraception. *These are just stereotypes that I have just grown up with and do not apply to the majority of people here.
