Why Was There Tension Between Catholics And Protestants In Elizabethan England?

Religions? Fighting with each other?! Utterly shocking, This is unheard of.

Basically, Elizabeth was Protestant and religion was very influential. The main tension between Catholics and Protestants had started with the Henrican Reformation and over the conflicting beliefs of the two groups. For example, Protestants reject the Pope, reject the Church and priests to act as a medium between people and god and say that salvation can only come from a close personal relationship with god through reading the Bible etc. Catholics ain't a fan of this, they love the Pope and a wee bit of salvation through confessions etc.
