Why do Catholics hate Elizabeth 1?

Answer 1

Under the rein of Mary 1, Catholicism was the religion enforced in England. Upon Mary's death, Queen Elizabeth 1, who had been raised Protestant, claimed Protestant religion for England. Upon her coronation, Protestant refugees returned to England.

Catholic AnswerCatholics do not hate anyone, every single human being who ever lived is a creature of God, created by Him in His likeness and image, and we are called to love every single human being who ever lived. To ask why Catholics hate anyone is a gross error and should never be answered except to say that any one Christian who hates anyone is committing a sin. Catholics certainly may have hated the things that Elizabeth did, including the enforcement of a state religion that was to acknowledge Elizabeth, herself, as head of the Church, and to apostatize from the Christian religion established by Christ, Himself, in His Church. Catholics certainly hate the fact that not only were they not allowed to practice their faith, but that Elizabeth, in contrast to her sister, did not allow any opposition and tortured and killed hundreds of faithful Catholics during her reign.
