I believe the Catholics in Maryland were greatly outnumbered by the Protestants at the time of the Revolution

They were, but Catholics were greatly influential in the colony and were represented at the signing of the Declaration.

Dear wideawake,

“They were, but Catholics were greatly influential in the colony and were represented at the signing of the Declaration.”

Only one Catholic signed the Declaration, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, out of four Maryland signers. This wasn't an over-representation of the Catholic population of Maryland at the time. Carroll represented Maryland IN SPITE of his Catholicism, not because of it.
