The conflicts depend on which Protestant denomination you're speaking of. Generally there are differences on the question of faith versus good works, on the role of Mary, and on Church authority.
In some cases, conflicts may be caused by a lack of education. Catholics do not believe there's anyone "standing between you and the Trinity." Nor do they worship saints.

Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in the first century to bring God to the people and the people to God. The Protestant "churches" were founded by individuals sixteenth centuries after Christ according to their own personal beliefs.Catholics believe that God the Son became incarnate in a human body through the Holy Spirit and the Blessed Virgin Mary to save mankind from their sins. He established His Church and appointed Apostles (Bishops) and Peter (Pope) to guide that Church on earth and He guaranteed to be with It until the end of time. Catholics believe that you only have one choice in life: to love and serve the Lord, or to reject Him and be separated from Him forever in Hell. Every other choice you have in life comes down to that, is this following Jesus or rejecting Him.
Protestants reject Christ because they reject His Body: the Church. They believe that they are their own little Pope and that they can decide how to follow Jesus themselves. Thus they fragment into many "denominations" as they decide how they want to follow God, ignoring what He, Himself has said, and interpreting for themselves what is right or wrong. Thus they believe that they have more choices than following God or not, they believe that they have the choice to decide HOW they are going to follow God.

What made the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Reformation different?
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.
What was a protestant priests life like before the Reformation?
Before the Reformation, there were two Christian religions-the Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox. Both had priests as well as bishops and deacons. There was no such thing as Protestant priests before the Reformation. After the Lutheran Church was founded, the word priest was dropped and today in the Lutheran church, they ordain deacons, pastors or elders and in some Lutheran sects, bishops. The Anglican Church after the Reformation, was and is considered a "bridge" between the Roman Catholics and the Calvinists and Lutherans. They ordain deacons, priests and bishops like in the Catholic and Orthodox faiths. The primary difference at the time the Church of England was founded in the 16th century, was the Mass would be spoken in English not Latin.

What are the protestant faiths?
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.
