Religious persecution in England during the 17th century played a significant role in shaping the political and social landscape of the time. The period was marked by conflicts between different religious groups, particularly between Protestants and Catholics. The persecution of Catholics under Protestant rulers like Elizabeth I and James I led to tensions and violence, while the Civil War in the mid-17th century was fueled in part by religious divisions. The Glorious Revolution of 1688 ultimately led to greater religious tolerance in England, with the passage of the Toleration Act in 1689.
Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church. Maryland was the colony founded in America for Catholics.
Technically, the only 'Roman Catholics' are Catholics who live within the Diocese of Rome. Everyone else is just a 'Catholic.' The term 'Roman Catholic' developed following the Protestant Revolt, mainly in England, and was used to distinguish between members of the Church of England who, mistakenly, thought they were still true Catholics and the Catholics who remained loyal to the pope. The Catholic Church never uses the term. There are simply Catholics and non-Catholics. If you are in union with the pope in Rome, you are a Catholic. If you are not in union with the pope, you are NOT a Catholic. It is as simple as that.

Lord Baltimore, from England, established Maryland as a haven for Catholics in the New World.
James, Duke of York, took over as the Duke of York after the death of his brother, King Charles II, in 1685. Following Charles II's death, James ascended to the throne as King James II of England. His reign was marked by tensions between Catholics and Protestants, ultimately leading to his ousting in the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
After King Henry VIII died, his son Edward VI succeeded him and introduced Protestant reforms, which were continued by Queen Elizabeth I. This led to the establishment of the Church of England as a Protestant church, further solidifying the break from the Roman Catholic Church. Religious conflicts and tensions continued in the following years, including the persecution of Catholics and Puritans.

Religion was a significant issue in England during King James I's reign, primarily due to tensions between Catholics and Protestants. The Gunpowder Plot of 1605, a failed attempt by Catholics to assassinate James and blow up Parliament, heightened these tensions and led to stricter laws against Catholics. King James, despite being a Protestant, attempted to promote a degree of tolerance, yet his policies often alienated both factions, as he struggled to balance the demands of the Anglican Church with the expectations of Catholic subjects. This inconsistency exacerbated existing conflicts and contributed to ongoing religious strife in the country.
In England Henry the VIII had a lot to do with it.
