You started life as a Catholic. Don't follow all the ways of being a Catholic. Yet it just don't feel right calling your self Protestant. There are some things Catholic that are still a part of life?

Yes. Baptism places an indelible spiritual mark on our soul that cannot be removed. This mark gives us a new permanent configuration to Christ and a specific standing in the Church. It identifies us as an adopted child of God. Therefore in most cases, "once a Catholic, always a Catholic" is true. Because Catholics do not believe in "once saved, always saved" a few Catholics will also freely choose to permanently separate themselves from God through mortal sin and go to hell.

Were all people be required to follow the Protestant religion in the 1600s?
It depends, if you lived in a nation that was Protestant (i.e. your king was Protestant), you would be required to follow Protestantism. If you lived in a Catholic nation (i.e. your king was Catholic), you would be required to follow Catholicism. There was little to no religious freedom at that time.
What is a seasonal Catholic?
A seasonal Catholic is basically a Protestant who was baptized and raised Catholic, but looks on the Church the same way a Protestant looks on his "church". In other words, a seasonal Catholic does not realize that the Catholic Church is the Body of Christ on earth; and consequently, they do not follow Catholic doctrine, they do not attend Confession regularly, and they usually only show up for Mass on Christmas and Easter, as if they were a Protestant.

Who wanted to make England Catholic?
The first churches in Britain (and Ireland) were not connected to Rome, they were independent, and known as the 'Celtic' churches. Then in 597AD, the Roman Catholic church sent a monk called Augustine (not the famous Augustine of Hippo) who began to spread the Roman Catholic influence. Eventually the Celtic Churches agreed to follow Roman customs. So the Church of England was Roman Catholic until the time of Henry VIII, when it broke away during the Protestant Reformation. The Catholics have always wanted England to return to Roman Catholicism, and this almost happened during the reign of Queen Mary, Henry VIII's daughter - she was a Catholic and had many Protestant leaders burned at the stake. But she was succeeded by her sister Queen Elizabeth I, who was a Protestant, and the Church of England has been Protestant ever since. Eventually the Roman Catholic church realised it could not win the Church of England back, so it started planting new Catholic churches in England. So there are now churches, ministers, cathedrals and bishops of both denominations.
What religion was Elizabeth I?

Why didn't edward V1 want his sister Mary to become queen?
Because Edward VI and Mary I had different mothers, they were brought up to follow different beliefs (Mary's mother was Catherine of Aragon = Catholic & Edward's mother was Jane Seymour = Protestant) Edward VI was a puritan ( a Protestant extremist) and Mary I was a Catholic extremist, so this was all about religion; Edward VI had made England a very Protestant country and he knew that if his half sister Mary I successed him that she would make England a Catholic country. This is why he did not want her to become Queen of England. Hope this helps :)
