attack each other...why?

Because there is no such religion as "protestant." That word is a descriptive used by historians to identify a number of movements that objected to catholic excesses and erroneous theology during the middle ages.

There are Anglicans, Presbyterians, Baptists, etc., etc. They are as different from each other as they are from catholicism. In fact, catholicism is simply another denomination in terms of today's world.
