The Pope issued an official document stating that Elizabeth:
-"seized the crown and monstrously usurped the place of supreme head of the Church in all England"
-was "the pretended queen of England and the servant of crime"
-declared "her to be deprived of her pretended title to the aforesaid crown and of all lordship, dignity and privilege whatsoever" - was "a heretic and favourer of heretics, and her adherents in the matters aforesaid to have incurred the sentence of excommunication and to be cut off from the unity of the body of Christ."
and that "all and singular the nobles, subjects, peoples and others afore said that they do not dare obey her orders, mandates and laws"
Sounds to me like the Roman Catholic Church did not like her as queen.

For what reasons did many of Elizabeths 1sts advisers want ro persuade Elizabeth to execute Mary Queen of Scots?
Elizabeth was a Protestant Queen, making England a Protestant country, whereas Mary was a devout Catholic. Although there were Protestants in England at the time, there were also many Catholics who supported Mary as Queen. Since from the Catholic viewpoint Henry VIII and Catherine of Argon's marriage was never annulled. That would have made Elizabeth, Anne Boleyn's child, illegitimate, since at the time of her conception, Catherine was not dead and still the wife of Henry. She could have been considered a bastard by many people. Mary, Queen of Scots, would have been her closest relative, making her the biggest threat to Elizabeth's throne. In order to protect it, she had Mary beheaded. Elizabeth later claimed the execution papers were to only make Mary nervous so she would back off. Any way, the order was carried out, even if it wasn't supposed to be.
