It is important to note that at the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence Catholics could not hold office, exercise the franchise, educate their children in their faith, or worship in public in the colonies by edict of the Protestant Parliament and assemblies. I get a sense that many on FR would love to return to that state.

Shall we bring up Catholic Church history and practices in other heavily Catholic countries around the world even today, if you're going to go that route?

Spain over the past 150 years would be a good start. Or Mexico.

Thank you for making my point. One doesn't have to scratch very deeply for the anti-Catholic bigotry to begin to hemorrhage.
