Why did Pope Pius V excommunicate Queen Elizabeth I in 1570?
The pope declared her a heretic because she invaded France and Spain, allies of the Catholic Church.
The pope declared her a heretic because she sided with Charles V to form the Schmalkaldic League.
The pope declared her a heretic because she refused to send English troops to aid Rome when it was sacked by Spanish marauders.
The pope deemed her a heretic because she declared the Church of England independent of Vatican authority.
