Was anybody killed in the gunpowder plot?

The gunpowder plot was a fail. Before Guy Fawkes could light the gunpowder (which were in a cellar in a house next to the house of parliament), soldiers caught him. He was guarding 36 barrels of gunpowder! Fawkes was tortured until he owned up and the other 7 were caught and were hanged, drawn and quartered. The other 5 men escaped from London.


Why could the Catholics be blamed for the gunpowder plot?

No, the gunpowder plot was, at best, a bunch of men who really didn't understand their religion. Our Blessed Lord asks us to PICK UP OUR CROSS DAILY and follow Him. He said nothing about bringing down heretical governments, to the best of my knowledge.

Where did guy Fawkes and his plotters take the gunpowder?

Its called "the Gunpowder Plot" In 1605, the Gunpowder Treason Plot, was a failed assassination attempt against King James I of England and VI of Scotland by a group of provincial English Catholics led by Robert Catesby. The plan was to blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening of England's Parliament on 5 November 1605. Robert Catesbys fellow plotters were John Wright, Thomas Wintour, Thomas Percy, Guy Fawkes, Robert Keyes, Thomas Bates, Robert Wintour, Christopher Wright, John Grant, Ambrose Rookwood, Sir Everard Digby and Francis Tresham. Fawkes, who had 10 years of military experience fighting in the Spanish Netherlands in suppression of the Dutch Revolt, was given charge of the explosives. The plot was revealed to the authorities in an anonymous letter sent to William Parker, 4th Baron Monteagle, on 26 October 1605. During a search of the House of Lords at about midnight on 4 November 1605, Fawkes was discovered guarding 36 barrels of gunpowder-enough to reduce the House of Lords to complete rubble. He was arrested. Most of the conspirators fled from London as they learned of the plot's discovery. Several made a stand against the pursuing Sheriff of Worcester and his men at Holbeche House, in the ensuing battle, Catesby was one of those shot and killed. At their trial on 27 January 1606, eight of the survivors, including Fawkes, were convicted and sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered. The details of the assassination attempt were allegedly known by the principal Jesuit of England, Father Henry Garnet. Although he was convicted of treason and sentenced to death, doubt has been cast on how much he really knew about the plot. When it was revealed to him through confession, Garnet was prevented from informing the authorities by the absolute confidentiality of the confessional. Although anti-Catholic legislation was introduced soon after the plot's discovery, many important and loyal Catholics retained high office during King James I's reign. The thwarting of the Gunpowder Plot was commemorated for many years afterwards by special sermons and other public events such as the ringing of church bells, which have evolved in Britain into the "Bonfire Night" of today.
