AnswerIt might be discommunication from the church. Or at least that is what happened to Martin Luther. The word is "excommunication" and can be overturned as in the case of the Lefebvrite bishops who were excommunicated by Pope John Paul II and reinstated into the fold of the Roman Catholic Church by Pope Benedict XVI even though they reject both the Vatican II Council and the pope's authority and one of them is a Holocaust denier.
Because they were corrupt and did not follow the teaching of the bible.
The English king henry VIII decided to separate his nation from the catholic church after the pope refused to permit him to divorce his wife. henry established the church of England, also called the Anglican church. The church of England kept most catholic beliefs, but rejected the power of the pope. English reformer William Tyndale believed the Anglican church should reject all catholic beliefs and practices. In England people debated whether to keep most catholic beliefs or adopt more protestant reforms.

This refers to Churches which emerged directly or indirectly from the Protestant Reformation and generally constitute traditional Protestantism. In common usage the term is used to refer to any Christian church other than the Catholic Church or the Eastern Orthodox Church. There are non-Roman Catholic and non-Eastern Orthodox churches which predate the Reformation. Protestants often refer to specific Protestant churches and groups as denominations. They are differently named parts of the whole reformation "church", as Protestants reject the Catholic doctrine of the Catholic Church. . There are many independent, non-aligned or non-denominational congregations outside Catholicism.

The reformation gave the common people the opportunity to have access to the bible. They then could read for themselves that which God would have them do. To either except or reject Gods word.
Of course!! The vast majority of Protestants accept the same Christian beliefs as laid down in the Creeds as Catholics believe. The only difference is that Protestants, on the whole, reject certain beliefs of the Catholic Church (such as purgatory, over adulation of the Virgin Mary, praying to saints, the adulation of relics, infallibility of the pope and so on) and regard them as unbiblical and an invention of humans rather than revealed by God, and they also reject papal authority in favour of the authority of scripture.

Protestants reject the belief in transubstantiation because they interpret the Eucharist symbolically rather than literally. They believe that the bread and wine used in communion represent the body and blood of Christ, rather than actually becoming them. This difference in interpretation stems from theological differences between Protestantism and Catholicism.
No. A non-practising catholic is a catholic that does not attend worship. Protestants are christians who reject the pope as head of the worldwide christian movement.
the Calvinists
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) reject the Pope because they aren't Catholic. Only Catholics follow the Pope.
Very basically, Protestantism (coming from the Latin word protestari to protest) refers to religions formed after the Reformation during sixteenth century Europe. These groups rejected the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, beginning with Henry VIII, and his daughter Elizabeth, I in the sixteenth century. The Roman Catholic Church had also fallen into gross corruption. Protestants believe that the Bible is their only source of authority and inspiration, unlike the Roman Catholic Church, The Eastern Rite Religions and other Orthodox religions who believe that their tradition of belief is equal to the Bible. They also reject the notion of "Apostolic Succession" which is the belief of the Roman Catholic Church eg. the pope is the direct descendent of Saint Peter who is believed by them, to have been by appointed by Jesus. The sacramental nature of the clergy is also rejected by Protestants. This means that any person who enters the ranks of the clergy does so by the laying on of hands by the higher clergy who are believed to be descended from Jesus' apostles.Other religious groups to form following the Reformation are Lutheranism, Methodism, the Baptist church, Presbyterianism and Calvinism.
