Best Answer

Protestantism arose after the Middle Ages ended.

There were dissidents in the Church of the Middle Ages, including Lollards and Hussites, along with such heretical groups as the Albigensians and Waldensians, but they were not actually Protestant, strictly speaking. They anticipated Protestantism, but were of sufficiently different natures to be considered not the same.

What is the difference between the Protestant Church and the Church of England?

From a Catholic point of view: there really isn't a difference between the members of the Church of England (Anglican or Episcopalian) or Protestants because all Churches who broke from Rome during the Reformation are considered Protestant since they "protested" the Roman Church. However, the Church of England considers themselves to be "quasi-Protestant" a somewhat cross section of both Protestantism and Catholicism since they still somewhat retained a few Catholic traditions and views, but are separate from the Roman Church. There are differences between Anglicans/Episcopalians and other Protestants, but the Anglicans are still considered Protestant by the Roman Catholic Church.
