Why were mainly Protestant Pilgrims fleeing persecution in England?

In England of that time, the question of what was acceptable religious practice was not merely one of Catholic versus Protestant, because there were many kinds of Protestants, and they were as widely separated from each other in practice and belief as they were from the Catholics. The Pilgrims were Puritans, who were very different from the Church of England, and so they were as much subject to persecution as the Catholics.
