Do you know the history of Maryland? Hint: MARY land....this shows the Catholics true colors, who settled Maryland. Instead of calling it "Jesusland," they go out and give Mary top billing.
It speaks volumes.
Anyway, the Puritans started coming into Maryland in droves and actually ended up becoming more powerful than the original Catholic settlers. Pretty cool.

The state of Maryland was named after Henrietta
Maria de Bourbon, wife of Charles I.
Nice try at Catholic-bashing, though.
