That would be an oxymoron! A Protestant is a person who 'doth protest' against Catholicism. Why would the Church protest against itself? Why would the Church want to destroy itself? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Many conservative Catholics already feel the Catholic Church has gone way to far to placate Protestants by 'Protestantizing' much of its worship and liturgy, throwing out time tested, venerable sacred practices that have been a part of the Church for 2000 years.

What does it take to change from Greek Orthodox to Catholic?
The first place to go is to arrange to meet with a Catholic priest. He will explain the process for you. It should be a relatively simple procedure compared to a Protestant conversion to the Catholic Church.
Is the Catholic church the name historians gavce formation of many protestant churches during the 16th century?
The name "catholic" means universal, so the "catholic church" is all the believers in Christ all over the world. The organized church was more (or less) one church until the Eastern Orthodox church split from the Roman Catholic church, which was (and is) headquartered in Rome. At the time of the Protestant Reformation, the Protestant churches left the rule of the Roman Catholic church and formed their own denominations (such as Lutherans, Baptists, Presbyterians). Sometimes people use the term "catholic" when they really should use the term Roman Catholic, so things can get confused.
Where was the first Protestant church built?
Martin Luther started the Protestant movement when he sought to to reform the Roman Catholic Church's use of indulgences. The first Protestant communion was celebrated in St Mary's Church, Wittenberg, Germany, in 1521. I think there is some confusion as to what the church is and what the church building is. The church is not the building, but the members of the congregation. That being cleared up, the question should be "Where was the first protestant church established?" or "Where was the first protestant church building built?" The contributor above has the correct to where and when the first protestant church was established.
Was the new church that Henry VIII really protestant?
King Henry VIII established The Church of England (the Anglican church). Like the protestant church it was a separation from Roman Catholicism, but it was created under different circumstances. There is some disagreement if the Anglican church should be considered protestant or catholic seeing as it contains parts of Catholicism that Protestant religions disagree with, but also disagrees with Catholicism on some of the same points as Protestant religions. Regardless, the Anglican church considers itself a separate entity entirely.
Should you capitalize 'Roman Catholic faith'?
Yes. It is normally capitalized. However, "Roman" is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church, except sometimes to refer to the Latin Rite, but never with "Catholic".
Can you rephrase Henry VIII should split from the Catholic Church and start a new church?
Henry VIII never spit form the Church. He reformed the church, making it suit him better. He allowed Protestant beliefs to spread through England because he appointed himself head of the church. He was born a Catholic and died a Catholic. Hope his helped.

What is the difference between a prtestant church and a catholic church?
The main difference between the two churches is that the Protestant church believes that they should not have sculptures and paintings to worship. Whereas the Cathloic church believes that if you have images of what you are worshipping, you will have a deeper and stronger faith.
