Guy Fawkes day is labeled anti-Catholic by many apparently.
Apparently? Are you referring to history books. I live in Britain and can tell you for a fact that the average Britain could care less whether Guy Fawkes was Catholic, Moonie, Hindu, or whatever. The disturbances had nothing to do with religion and everything to do with hooliganism.
Doesn’t make much sense since he was Catholic & working with a group who wanted a Catholic monarchy.
It is primarily a British patriotic celebration (commemorating the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605) but it has a long history of anti-Catholic elements. It was for this reason George Washington forbade his troops to celebrate it.
Even to this day in parts of England, anti-Catholic aspects of the day continue, though with the loss of religion there in general, it's taken on a mostly secular tone. Like many other things, just an excuse for people to get stoned and rowdy.
Well he was part of a Catholic Plof
