Protestants didn't "arrive", Catholic and Protestants are both Christians, Protestant is a religion started by Martin Luther(not King just Martin Luther) who was originally a catholic but thought the Catholic ways were un-godly and not of The Bible so he started Protestant which mean Protest because they Protested against the Pope, the religion spread in mainly the north of Europe and also part of France.

What were the problems between the Catholics and the Protestants before bloody Sunday?
Neither really got along. The Catholics had no rights, but the government was Protestant and favoured Protestants. This didn't change after Bloody Sunday.

What acts of violence have Catholics and Protestants inflicted upon each other in Ireland?
Are you talking about the crusades, Or are you talking about things more along the lines of the inquisition? Either way, protestants left the pope for these reasons, among others and generally arent aggressive to non-believers. This explains the early stages of violence between the native Irish Catholics and the Scottish and English "settlers": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Rebellion_of_1641#Ulster_Massacres
Do Catholics get along better with Mormons or protestants?
This really is something that is treated on an individual basis and not the relations between denominations as a whole. The Catholic Church certainly has a right to not approve of Mormons or Protestants, as both claim that the Catholic Church has gone astray. The Catholic Church generally has good relations with other denominations and individual Catholic groups work together with both Protestant and Mormon groups on a regular basis. Whether an individual Catholic prefers the company of Protestants or Mormons would be based on his/her individual personality, as they will have many common beliefs with people from both religions.
Is there any more that can be done to bridge the divide between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland?
The problem is not between Catholics and Protestants, despite the way it is portrayed. It is between the nationalist/republican groups and unionists/loyalist groups. Most do split along Catholic and Protestant lines, but the issues are around power and political issues and not religion itself. It is quite a complex problem. To sort it, people have to keep on talking and work together and build trust. That is happening, and things are much improved, but there are still people who have difficulties doing that.
Is eastern orthodox monotheistic or polytheistic?

Who granted freedom of worship to nearly all Protestants but not to Catholics or Jews?
In England, the Toleration act was granted by Parliament and approved by the Crown in 1689 to grant toleration to Trinitarian Christians, it purposely did not apply to Catholics, nontrinitarians and atheists. In Maryland a similar Act was passed in 1649, along the same lines, only applying to Trinitarian Christians - but not Catholics. In 1712 Scotland passed a similar act to allow greater freedom to Anglicans.
Was one of the reasons that Catholics faced discrimination from Protestants throughout the US during the 19th century?
Probably the biggest reason was simply that fact that protestants had fled to the United States to get away from Catholics (and Anglicans, initially, for that matter). In the 19th century, besides Jews, most of the immigrants into the United States were Irish, Italian, and Polish, along with some other groups like Hungarians and Spanish. But in the main the they were all Catholics, and looked down upon by the white protestant majority who had been in the United States for several generations at that point. I grew up in the 1950's and even though I had a Catholic grandmother only knew of the Catholics as a various collection of not very nice slang terms that described their nationality, mostly Italians and Poles (my grandmother was Irish, so, although I heard those terms as well, they weren't used in my family.)

Why do Catholics bless themselves and Protestants don't?
The Catholic cross them self because is a way to start a prayerThe words that go along with are "in the father, the son and the holy spirit.Its also continued tradition.Protestants do 'bless' themselves or rather they ask God to bless them. As in the answer above, it is also called prayer. We pray about any situation whether thanking God or asking His help for ourselves (petition) or help for others ( intercession ). We just don't'cross ourselves' as the Roman Catholics do.
