Are Protestants catholic who were trying to reform the Catholic church in England?

Answer 1

No, they are Anglicans. The very term Protestant is defined as any Christian that is not in communion with the Roman Catholic Church or Eastern Orthodox Church. Also, contrary to what they call it, it was not Reformation as they claim but a Revolution. they revolted against the Catholic Church.

Answer 2

Yes and no.

There were indeed English Protestants, but they were not trying to reform the Catholic church; they sought to break away from the spiritual leadership of the Pope (and from the political influence of France, with which the papacy aligned itself at the time). Moreover, there are many branches of English Protestantism, ranging from Anglicans to Quakers.

Protestantism, however, was not unique to England. Early Protestant movements were created across Western Europe -- in Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, even France. In France, however, Catholics eventually managed to gain upper hand, so French Protestants had to flee the country...

Answer 3

Because Martin Luther, the founding father of the Protestant motion, was once a Catholic priest. There had been, of path, the East Orthodoxy, the Apostolic Church, The Coptic Christians, and small sects for the period of the Medieval Period as good.

Answer 4

Martin Luther started a movement against the Catholic church. The original basis for his disagreement (protest) with the church was the amount of pageantry and money that was spent on artwork and ornate furnishings instead of focus on worshiping of God. This did not take place in England but in a different part of Europe.
