They did. Check out Robert Aske and the Pilgrimage of Grace, 1536. Many stood against Henry and he murdered a goodly number of them, it was horrid and vile and unchristian. This rebellion carried on in different forms through Edward and Elizabeth's reign. At one time any Catholic priest found in England was subject to the death penalty. Look up priest holes and the English martyrs, St Edmund Campion and his companions.
That’s true about Robert Aske. Thanks for reminding me about that. Henry got rid of everyone who wouldn’t support any desire he had. England might have been a better place had he never woken up from the coma he’d been in.
