Protestants by definition protest some Catholic teachings. The various branches of Protestantism broke away from the Catholic Church in the 1500s. Eastern Orthodox churches broke away earlier after disagreements over doctrine, so could also be said to "protest" some Catholic teachings, although Orthodox and Catholic churches are often said to be "in communion" with each other, which cannot be said of Catholic and Protestant Churches.
