First of all, it's just the Catholic Church, not the Roman Catholic Church. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church.
.
Secondly, the Catholic Church has been around since Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, established it 2,000 years ago. In that time, there have been uncounted people who have protested the Church for all kinds of things. For instance, here is a short list of the "great heresies" in the past 20 centuries:
The Circumcisers (1st Century)
Gnosticism (1st and 2nd Centuries)
Montanism (Late 2nd Century)
Sabellianism (Early 3rd Century)
Arianism (4th Century)
Pelagianism (5th Century)
Semi-Pelagianism (5th Century)
Nestorianism (5th Century)
Monophysitism (5th Century)
Iconoclasm (7th and 8th Centuries)
Catharism (11th Century)
Protestantism (16th Century)
Jansenism (17th Century)

Catholic AnswerFirst off, it's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church.Secondly, there have been innumerable people who have protested against the Catholic Church in the past two thousand years. During the protestant revolt, Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, and Henry VIII all protested as they started their own churches, but there were innumerable heretics before them, to get a reasonable answer, you will have to narrow your question down to a time period and a country.
