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

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 the first diocese was in Maryland. (Was also accepted by the Pilgrims and the Puritans who basically persecuted the Catholics.)

Florida is so logical, because those who discovered the new world soon had priests evangelizing the area. Not surprising at all.
