Most protestants don't hate the pope himself but none don't believe in the authority of the pope and his infallibility. Some in the past have experienced bad popes on the throne and pass on the stereotype that all popes are bad.

No, this is the essential reason behind the term "Protestant", or "one who protests to the authority" which in the historical circumstances was the Roman pontiff. Protestant attitudes to the pope are extreme. Some Protestants, such as "high" Anglicans, find the pope a good man who does good things, some believe the papal office a deception while others that the pope is the Anti-Christ. None, however, consider the pope to be their spiritual leader or to possess jurisdictional authority over the Church.
