in england under the rule of queen elizabeth i how was the issues between catholics and protestants settled?

The issues between Catholics and Protestants were settled with the Elizabethan Religious Settlement.

Explanation:

When Queen Elizabeth I took power in England, the kingdom was sharply divided on the issue of religion. Elizabeth I's father, Henry VIII, had separated the Church of England from the Roman Catholic Church. Mary I, Elizabeth's half-sister, became queen in 1553 (before Elizabeth did). She reversed the religious innovations introduced by her father Henry VIII and brother Edward VI. Under Mary's rule, England was Catholic yet again and abided by the Pope. Mary died and the throne was left to Elizabeth, who was Protestant. The Act of Supremacy of 1558 re-established that the Church of England was independent from Rome. There were still tensions however between the Catholics who were called recusants and who remained loyal to Rome and the Protestants that would continue on after Elizabeth I's death.
