My first ancestor in the U.S. came here in 1695 from England where he was driven by religious persucution from French Catholics after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Was he anti Catholic? I don't know but I do know that I'm not.
I don't need a reason to think that Catholics are my equals in every way but my post #41 is a good enough reason.

I have some French Huguenots on my family tree too. The French naturally made a mess of things, it seems to be a habit of theirs. (We showed them how to do a perfectly good Revolution in 1776, but despite the assistance of Lafayette they managed to foul it up.)
