The Protestant Reformation led to the fragmentation of Christianity, with the emergence of various Protestant denominations such as Lutheranism, Calvinism, and Anglicanism. This led to religious diversity and a decrease in the power and authority of the Catholic Church. The Reformation sparked widespread social and political change. It challenged the authority of monarchs and popes, promoting ideas like individual religious freedom and the importance of the individual's relationship with God. It also led to conflicts and wars, such as the Thirty Years' War, as different religious groups vied for dominance. The Reformation had a profound impact on education and literacy. Protestant leaders encouraged the translation and dissemination of the Bible in the vernacular languages, leading to increased literacy rates among the general population. This had long-term consequences in terms of promoting widespread access to education and knowledge.
The difference between them is that the Catholic Reformation was the response to the Protestant Reformation. The Protestanst accused the Catholic Church of indulgences (paying for your sins to essentially be erased), being able to pay for your religious post, and to be able to have more than one post at a time, and many other scandals. Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis to the Church door in Wittenberg and from then, the Protestant Reformation started and eventually, the Church held the Council of Trent, whose goal was to purify the Church. The Jesuits were formed from the Catholic Reformation. The Jesuits were formed by St. Ignatius of Loyola and they converted people to Catholicism. They were considered one of the bright lights of the Catholic Reformation.
Henry the 8th changed and turned the Catholic Church to Protestant in order to divorce and remarry as he couldn't get a Papal dispensation. Most of the country became Protestant, specifically members of the Church of England.

First off, it's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. . Secondly, Martin Luther never started a movement to reform the Catholic Church, Martin Luther LEFT the Catholic Church to start his own Church. Which is a completely different thing. That is commonly mislabeled as the protestant reformation, Catholics refer to it as the protestant revolt.

Protestant Faiths are splinter groups from the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. They typically hold to Sola Scriptura (The Bible alone determines the content of one's beliefs) and Sola Fide (Faith alone is necessary for salvation, apart from works). Because of varying views on what beliefs the Bible is proposing, as well as a lack of central authority, over time there have been tens of thousands of different Protestant splinter groups, known as denominations that have sprung up. These denominations make up the various Protestant Faiths that exist today.
There are many different Protestant virtues. Some of these Protestant virtues include prudence, faith, diligence, hard work, prayer, humility, and kindness.
All Protestant churches are different. Ask your minister for the rules of your church.
