The same reason Christians and Jews didn't like each other: a difference of opinion they held deeply.
My reason: they don't hate each other. I have a Anglican friends, a Catholics friends and a Presyterian friends. And they don't fight.
People have forgotten God's commandments and kill each other and forget to love one another.
In Northern Ireland, sectarian violence is fomented by the British Government to keep the Irish divided and under the domination of Great Britain.
If you are referring to the troubles in Ireland, it wasn't really a religious conflict so much as a national one. The Irish have been fighting the British ever since they took over their nation and reduced them to poverty and servitude. The Irish all happened to be Catholic, having escaped the worst of Henry and Elizabeth's forced apostasy and the British were mostly all protestants.

Sort of a broad question, you need to be more specific, in what country and what century? Over all, there is not reason for Catholics and protestants to fight, are you speaking of rulers or common people?
The protestants do not believe in the Pope as well as Mary.
If you want a reason for something, you are going to have to narrow it down to a specific country and century, at the very least.
It was not over religion, do research.

Roman Catholic AnswerUnfortunately, there have been many "fights" between protestants and Catholics in the last five hundred plus years, and, sorry to say, that there are never any winners in such a fight. When you have two groups of people, both professing to be Christian, and following Our Blessed Lord's command to "turn the other cheek", then anyone fighting at anytime is to lose as soon as you start fighting because you are disobeying God.
Catholics live all over Ireland, as do Protestants. Northern Ireland is known for having a greater number of Protestants than other parts of Ireland, but there are lots of Catholics there too and lots of Protestants in other parts of Ireland.
Over 93% are Christians of various denominations (Protestants, Catholics, Mormons).
Anglicans: English protestants had control over all the wealth of Ireland.
This has happened to very few Catholics and their terrorist actions were certainly not those of a Catholic. It happened because Catholics were made feel and were treated as second class citizens, compared to Protestants..AnswerThis has little if nothing to do with religion. The English came in and took over Ireland, subjecting them, for many years, to cruel oppression. It just so happens that the English were all protestant and the Irish were all Catholic. It has mainly been a fight by the Irish to reclaim their country. It has NOTHING to do with "Catholics" becoming "terrorists".
Most of it is monotheistic: over 80% are Christians of different denominations (Catholics, Protestants).
The Good Friday Agreement, officially known as the Belfast Agreement.
I can't. Over the centuries, Christians of all persuasions have persecuted those they could dominate. So, the Catholics persecuted the Arians, the Cathars and, where possible, the Protestants. In turn, Protestants persecuted Catholics in those countries where Catholics were in a minority. Protestants even persecuted other Protestants, such as when the Church of England persecuted the Puritans. The only credible explanation is that Christianity contains an element of intolerance that is usually kept hidden.
minority catholics felt under-represented in the government of the United Kingdom
Christianity - divided into mainly Catholics and Protestants. Over recent years, the Muslim population has increased dramatically.
