Yes, it...Very nice, Josh, and welcome to the blog.<br /><br />Yes, it's a little-known fact that by the time of the Revolution, "Catholic" Maryland was no longer Catholic [less than 10% of the population] and Popery was suppressed.<br /><br />"Charles Carroll, the father of the signer of the Declaration of Independence, wrote to his son that Maryland was no longer a fit place for a Catholic to reside, and he felt inclined to dispose of his great landed estate and leave the province. Fortunately his son earnestly persuaded him not to do so."<br /><br />http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09755b.htmTom Van Dykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121072404143877596noreply@blogger.com
