The short answer is that there was no "Catholic" plot to kill King James 1. It is no more correct to say this than it is to say that "Episcopals assassinated President Lincoln" (John Wilkes Booth was Episcopalian)
The longer answer is that the assassination plot was due to (real or imagined) persecution.
On November 5, 1605, a small group of fanatic Catholics in England led by Guy Fawkes planned to blow up the House of Parliament, killing the assembled leadership and assassinating King James I. When it had become clear that King James was not to grant Catholics any relief from the persecution of his predecessor, Queen Elizabeth I.

What was the gunpowerd plot?
I presume you mean the Gunpowder plot. It was a plot in 1605 to blow up James the First of England by planting a bomb under the House of Lords for the state opening of parliament. The 17th century was a time of religious conflict in Britain between Catholics and Protestants. James the First was a Protestant king and Catholic plotters thought it would be a good idea to kill him and replace him with a Catholic monarch (James's 9 year old daughter, Elizabeth). The plot failed because one of the plotters sent a warning to a Catholic Baron (William Parker) who passed it on to the authorities. Guy Fawkes (by far the most remembered, but actually a fairly small player in the scheme) was captured guarding 36 barrels of gunpowder in the cellars of the Palace of Westminster. The other plotters were captured a few weeks later after a battle. All the surviving plotters were executed. To this day in Britain, there is a bonfire night on November 5th - the date of the planned explosion where effigies of Guy Fawkes (the Guy) are burnt and fireworks let off.
When was the gunpowder plot?
The gunpowder plot was on nov 5th 1605.The Gunpowder Plot was a failed assassination attempt by a group of English Catholics against King James I of England. The plot intended to kill the king, his family, and most of the Protestant aristocracy by blowing up the House of Parliment on 5 November 1605 and that's why they always sing the song 'remember remember the fifth of November gunpowder,treason or plot!!
