The churches that broke away from the Roman Catholic Church during the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century are collectively known as Protestant churches. These churches include Lutheran, Calvinist (Reformed), Anglican (Church of England), Anabaptist, and others. The Protestant Reformation was a significant movement that led to the establishment of these new branches of Christianity, each with its own beliefs and practices.

Because there was only one Christian church (after Jesus died) - the church of Christ. All the early Christians were Jewish, then the church was opened to all . Later the church split due to divisions and arguments of authority and rules, and other Christian denominations were formed.
