The Catholic Church was established in Florida decades and decades before the Pilgrims came to America.

Native American predated the Church.

Killed a bunch of French Huguenot settlers at Ft. Caroline back in those decades, didn’t they?

I KNEW it! Catholicism could only have started in Florida... (Sorry, had to, but I don’t care who you are, that is funny.)

Actually, a reformed Church, Calvinists all, was established in Florida in 1564, BEFORE the Spanish Romanists settled St. Augustine.

St. Augustine’s founder, Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, BUTCHERED OVER 500 French Hugueonauts who founded a French colony at Fort Caroline (in what is now Jacksonville, FL)....simply because they would not deny their faith and follow Rome.

In two incidents Menéndez fought the Calvinists to a point of surrender, took them prisoner—and offered to spare their lives if they swore allegiance to the Roman Church. When they refused he executed them all.
