Presbyterians issued from Scotland, in the Scottish Church established by John Knox. John Knox had been ordained a Catholic priest. Later he fled the country to Geneva and came under John Calvin's influence. Thus he adopted the "reformed" protestant philosophy as opposed to Luther's revolt, or Henry VIII's made up Anglican Church. Presbyterians didn't so much split from the Catholic church, although Knox had been a Catholic priest, but were really an offshoot of Calvinist beliefs.
