The article was about why in the past history of the Anglosphere (UK, US, etc) there has been hostility toward the Catholic Church from the people and leadership of the English speaking world.

It was not irrelevant to the English nobility when Mary was queen. She was smart enough not to remand reparations when she sought their approval for renewed relations with Rome, and this earned her their friendship. If she had lived another twenty years, English likely would have remained Catholic, because only in the City was she unpopular.
