The Lollards were a "heretical" body of followers in England during the latter part of the fourteenth and the first half of the fifteenth century, led by John Wyclif. The name "Lollard" has been used in Flanders early in the fourteenth century to mean "Hypocrite," but I find that a very harsh view of the group. The Lollards were upset with the Catholic Church's ideas of excommunication, believing that no human could or SHOULD have the power to break another human's ties to God, not even as a punishment. Many other religions that have spun off from the Catholic Church believe this as well--that's one of the main criticisms for the old-fashioned catholic religion.

How did the Catholic Church in the Middle ages respond to the protestant threat?
Protestantism arose after the Middle Ages ended. There were dissidents in the Church of the Middle Ages, including Lollards and Hussites, along with such heretical groups as the Albigensians and Waldensians, but they were not actually Protestant, strictly speaking. They anticipated Protestantism, but were of sufficiently different natures to be considered not the same. There is a link below to an article on the history of Protestantism.
