You obviously haven't read anything about the Reformation of the Catholic Church which was violently protested against by its various subjects in Europe. The Catholic Church retaliated with torture, murder, and massacres and the Protestant movement responded in kind.

Martin Luther was one of the most vocal and polarizing critics of Catholicism. Polarizing is just putting it mildly as his book On The Jews and Their Lies (1543) puts Mein Kampf to shame. Bear in mind that Luther and the Protestant movement was a widespread protest against the Catholic Church's treatment of their subjects. It was violent. It was based on differing beliefs about the bogeyman named God.
