King James I was a bitter enemy of Catholicism.
He was the one who Guy Fawkes tried to blow up along with most of Parliament. He finished what Henry Tudor started - the creation of a church carved out of most of the Catholic Church in England.
He also commissioned the KJV of the Bible; there are numerous websites dedicated to the tabulation of the errors, and some that attempt to explain the reasons behind deliberate error.

King James I was a bitter enemy of Catholicism. Well, he certainly was no admirer of the Papacy. However, I believe he treated the Catholics of England fairly well ... certainly a lot better than they would fare later on!

King James I was a bitter enemy of Catholicism. James I was also a bitter enemy of Protestants...attempting to keep the Church of England firmly under his control. Due to his record of persecuting religious dissenters, the Pilgrims and Puritans who came to America wouldn't touch a King James Bible with a ten foot pole. There's was the older Geneva Bible--and they knew the scriptures better than any generation of Christians before, or since.
