Henry Carey, while rumored to be the lovechild of Mary Boleyn and King Henry VIII, was not considered an heir to the throne because he was never acknowledged as Henry VIII's child, let alone a legitimate child. This is the same reason Henry Fitzroy was not considered a Tudor heir; he was produced by an affair between the King and Bessie Blount, and therefore, declared illegitimate. Both Princess Mary (daughter of King Henry and Queen Katherine) and Princess Elizabeth (daughter of King Henry and Queen Anne) were declared illegimate at one point as well. However, his last wife, Catherine Parr, convinced him to restore them as legitimate and, thus, heirs to the throne. After King Edward (son of King Henry and Queen Jane) died after a short reign, Princess Mary became Queen, but was shortly overthrown in favor of Elizabeth, who would rule for decades.

Who were Catherine of Aragon's friends and enemy's?
Well, whether a person was a friend or enemy of Catherine of Aragon really depended on which matters/beliefs they valued over others. For instance, it was well known that Catherine did not care for Cardinal Wolsey, not only because of his influence over the king, but of his blatant corruption (he had massive wealth and a mistress and two children). Thomas More however was seen as a friend of the queen because of his (albeit somewhat overzealous) stance in his faith and his refusal to acknowledge Henry VIII's marriage to Anne Boleyn (via the Oath of Supremacy).
Other 'friends' of Catherine of Aragon:
*Ambassadors Chapuys and Mendoza (both sought the interests of the queen and even asked her to beseech her nephew, the Holy Roman Emperor to intervene on her behalf)
*Cardinal John Fisher (one of the few clergymen/learned men who refused to go along with The King's Great Matter, nor did he recognize the Oath of Supremacy
*Lady Maria Willoughby nee de Salinas (her lady in waiting for many years who came with her as a teen from Spain)
*Lady Elizabeth Darrell (another of Catherine's ladies-in-waiting who refused to take the Oath of Supremacy)
Other 'enemies of Catherine of Aragon:
*Anne Boleyn (pretty obvious one there)
*Thomas Boleyn and Thomas Howard aka the Duke of Norfolk (for pushing for the marriage between Anne and the king)

After the death of his brother, Arthur, Henry Tudor became Henry VIII, king of England. He was famous for his role in the English Reformation, converting England into a Protestant nation.
Who wanted to make England Catholic?
The first churches in Britain (and Ireland) were not connected to Rome, they were independent, and known as the 'Celtic' churches. Then in 597AD, the Roman Catholic church sent a monk called Augustine (not the famous Augustine of Hippo) who began to spread the Roman Catholic influence. Eventually the Celtic Churches agreed to follow Roman customs.
So the Church of England was Roman Catholic until the time of Henry VIII, when it broke away during the Protestant Reformation. The Catholics have always wanted England to return to Roman Catholicism, and this almost happened during the reign of Queen Mary, Henry VIII's daughter - she was a Catholic and had many Protestant leaders burned at the stake. But she was succeeded by her sister Queen Elizabeth I, who was a Protestant, and the Church of England has been Protestant ever since.
Eventually the Roman Catholic church realised it could not win the Church of England back, so it started planting new Catholic churches in England. So there are now churches, ministers, cathedrals and bishops of both denominations.
