Catholic is the line unbroken from St. Peter. They are in constant meeting trying to figure out if every possible situation is acceptable to the faith.
Protestants is an umbrella term for anyone who is Christian but not Catholic or Orthodox. Came about because the Catholic Church is made of humans and humans more often than not exist in a sinful and broken way causing many people to have terrible experiences with Church members who were not being good Christians.
