Because the idea was to blow up Parliament, which was Protestant at the time. The plot was set up by a group of Catholics who wanted to overthrow Protestantism in England, and was planned to blow up the House of Lords as James I was opening the new parliament. 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
