The short answer is that there was no "Catholic" plot to kill King James 1. It is no more correct to say this than it is to say that "Episcopals assassinated President Lincoln" (John Wilkes Booth was Episcopalian)
The longer answer is that the assassination plot was due to (real or imagined) persecution.
On November 5, 1605, a small group of fanatic Catholics in England led by Guy Fawkes planned to blow up the House of Parliament, killing the assembled leadership and assassinating King James I. When it had become clear that King James was not to grant Catholics any relief from the persecution of his predecessor, Queen Elizabeth I.
