Yes, but how does that compare to, say, the number of Anglicans and other Protestants.

The founders of America were overwhelmingly British Protestants, at least nominally.

this is not to disparage the contributions that others made, but still. The Spanish Catholics, the Mexican CAtholics, the Viking Catholics, and the Irish Catholics, etc., while they may have been here, even first, did not play a significant role in the founding of this country, whatever they may have done since.

I didn't intend to get into numbers just facts.

Of course Protestants out-numbered Catholics at the beginning of our Nation, but nonetheless, Catholics did contribute to its founding.

Let me try again:

"The founders of America were overwhelmingly British Protestants, at least nominally."

I would add that the prayers of All our ancesters are what helped make this country great, Protestant or Catholic.
