What a ridiculous answer (poster below); hope that questioner goes to a better source than wiki!
Because Mary was a Catholic, Elizabeth was a Protestant.
Mary was a protestant turned catholic.
Elizabeth also turn catholic but turned protestant again when she became queen.
Mary was deemed Bloody Mary 'cause of all the protestants she killed and the catholics actually prefered Elizabeth to Mary because Elizabeth was smart and cunning.
