Not true. Catholics were in America long before the Pilgrims.

All Catholics called heirs to 'precious legacy' of first U.S. diocese (200 bishops at mass)

Yes America was Protestant, almost everything else was and still is Catholic.

Because of JFK’s election, much of what became American is now being recolonized by Catholics, it is what the left counts on, America is close to finished off.

Good article. After fleeing Europe and all the religious wars, persecution, and tyranny, it should be no surprise that Believers in the new world would turn to God and His Word for the Truth, and the freedom that comes with it. The new nation’s later rejection of a state religion was a bold move for liberty. And although often misunderstood and abused, it was vital for America’s success these last 2,000 years.

God Bless America!

This seems a variant of the Weber-Tawney Thesis that has come under heavy criticism in recent decades.
