Calvinism
Calvinism, which is also called the Reform Tradition, is one of the major and oldest branches of Protestantism and formed primarily in opposition to both the Catholic Church and the Rise of Lutheranism, composing many different Protestant sects. Calvinism primarily stems from the teachings of John Calvin. One of the distinctive teachings of Calvinism is the concept of Predestination, meaning that God has already chosen those who will go to Heaven or Hell and that there is no free will for a person to change their fate through works.

Why is there such a difference in Calvinism and Catholicism?
Why there are major differences is a historical reason. The Catholic belief is that the Catholic church started with its roots in the early apostolic church, and continually formed following the decisions of church councils under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. These councils influenced by the Holy Spirit responded to the changing needs of a growing church that existed in different times and places. Protestantism generally, of which Calvinism is a particular flavor, saw the Catholic Church as corrupt, and thought that some of the councils and church doctrines deviated from the teaching of scripture in an unacceptable way. John Calvin was one of the major reformers of the protestant reformation (as was Martin Luther). Below someone has detailed the main tenants of Calvinism, which more answers the question of how Calvinist and Catholics differ, rather than the question asked of why.
There are some major differences between Catholicism and Calvinism. We will examine some of the main differences in a moment. But first, a little about Calvinism:
Calvinists are followers of John Calvin (1509-1564). Calvinism is common in Presbyterian, Reformed, and a few Baptist churches. Even though Calvinists are a minority among Protestants today, their view has had enormous influence, especially in this country. This is partly because the Puritans and the Baptists who helped found America were Calvinists.
Calvinists claim God predestines people by choosing which individuals will accept his offer of salvation. These people are known as "the elect."[From the Greek word eklektos, which means "chosen."]. They are not saved against their will. It is because God has chosen them that they will desire to come to him in the first place. Abraham, Moses, the apostle Paul, the 12 disciples, the 7000 that God informed Elijah, the thief on the cross, the nation of Israel and many other examples in the Bible where God has called people and then they responded.
Those who are not among the elect, "the reprobate," will not desire to come to God, will not do so, and thus will not be saved.
Classical Calvinists hold to the well-known formula, TULIP. Each letter of this acronym stands for a different doctrine held by classical Calvinists [There are some Calvinists, known as Amyraldians or "four-point Calvinists," who hold all of TULIP except for " L"] The doctrines are:
Total depravity,
Unconditional election,
Limited atonement,
Irresistible grace, and
Perseverance of the saints.

What did Lutherans and Calvinists disagree on?
Lutherans and Calvinists primarily disagreed on the understanding of the Eucharist, or Communion. Lutherans believed in the concept of "sacramental union," where Christ is truly present in the bread and wine, while Calvinists held to a "symbolic" interpretation, viewing Communion as a spiritual participation rather than a physical presence. Additionally, they differed on predestination, with Calvinists emphasizing God's sovereignty in choosing the elect, while Lutherans maintained a more moderate view of free will in accepting grace. These theological differences contributed to the broader divisions within the Reformation movement.
