What I’ve read is that the pope didn’t like that King James made the Bible available to everyone. Prior to this Bible, only the church had direct access to it for a very long time. Even today, some portion of Catholics will say that this was a good thing because left to our own devices, we misunderstand a lot of scripture. I can agree with that, but also disagree that this means that ONLY a formal church should mediate scripture to us.
The notes on the CB and Jesuits are likely in play as well. There are these destroyed churches all over England supposedly from a period in time where Catholic monasteries and abbies were torn down.
As with all historical claims, your mileage may vary.
It’s a mix, with all of us.
