Parliament might oppose a Catholic monarch due to historical conflicts between Protestantism and Catholicism, particularly in England, where the monarchy played a crucial role in the establishment of the Church of England. A Catholic monarch could potentially align the monarchy with the Catholic Church, undermining the established Protestant church and threatening the religious and political stability that had been hard-won after centuries of conflict. Additionally, there were fears that a Catholic ruler might prioritize the interests of Catholic nations, which could compromise national sovereignty and security.

How did James II anger English parliament?

Largely by existing, it seems. There was an unfortunate tendency during that era for monarchs to believe the proper role of Parliament was to do whatever the monarch told them to do and for Parliament to believe the proper role of the monarch was to pose for stamps and coins, and eventually produce an heir, and to otherwise shut up and stay out of the way. In James' case, one problem was that the produced heir was Catholic (as was James himself, which didn't exactly make him top of the pops either). If you want a more specific answer, you'll need to ask a more specific question.

Why didn't Charles I like Parliament?

Charles I did not want to work with a Parliament, because the Parliament has the final say with matters such as laws. Charles I could propose a new law, but the Parliament can either accept it, or reject it.Charles didn't want a Parliament because he pretty much wanted absolute power. He wanted to make decisions on his own.The English Civil War, which Charles I lost, was Charles vs Parliament (led by Oliver Cromwell). Charles tried raising extra taxes without discussing it with the Parliament. Also, he married a Catholic princess, who influenced his decisions. Many were afraid that Charles would make the Church of England more Catholic. (He's Protestant.)All these problems led to the war, and eventually Charles lost, went into trial, and got beheaded.
