You are incorrect; the Catholic religion was banned in Maryland in 1688.

It was not banned in 1776. There were Catholics in Maryland and not all of them were imprisoned.

Only one Catholic - from Maryland- signed the Declaration

If there were 56 signers and if the Catholic population of the US was 1%, then Mr. Carroll represented 1.8% of the signers.
