Roman catholics and church of England protestants.
Roman Catholics.
Technically, the only 'Roman Catholics' are Catholics who live within the Diocese of Rome. Everyone else is just a 'Catholic.' The term 'Roman Catholic' developed following the Protestant Revolt, mainly in England, and was used to distinguish between members of the Church of England who, mistakenly, thought they were still true Catholics and the Catholics who remained loyal to the pope. The Catholic Church never uses the term. There are simply Catholics and non-Catholics. If you are in union with the pope in Rome, you are a Catholic. If you are not in union with the pope, you are NOT a Catholic. It is as simple as that.
In 1570 the Pope declared: # That Elizabeth was illegitime and therefore not the Queen of England. # That she was deposed (that is, removed from the throne). # That all Roman Catholics in England owed her no allegiance or loyalty. # That Roman Catholics should rise in rebellion against her and depose her.
The colony of Maryland consisted mostly of Catholics. Lord Baltimore asked the king of England for an exclusive colony for Roman Catholics and his wish was granted.
