What do the Catholics believe about Guy Fawkes?
Guy Fawkes was a terrorist who attempted to blow up the English Parliament. He was a Roman Catholic who had been angered by the failure of King James, who was after all the son of the Catholic Mary Queen of Scots, to grant more religious toleration to Catholics. Therefore the Catholics at the time probably thought he was a hero while the Protestants probably saw him as a criminal. Whichever it was he was hung, drawn and quartered as a traitor to the crown of King James.

Because the idea was to blow up Parliament, which was Protestant at the time.

If it was a genuine plot by rebelers, then it came very close to succession. The only thing that stopped it from succeeding was because the Catholics passed a note to a Catholic Lord, Lord Monteagle, advising him not to go to Court on Nov. 5th, and Lord Monteagle passed the note to Robert Cecil, the King's chief adviser, who had the Houses searched and the Plot was discovered when they found Guy Fawkes with 36 barrels of gunpowder, ready to blow up parliament Hope that helps!! :D
