Your statement is rendered false in its entirety by the Catholic founding of Maryland, which was the model for the United States. Prosperous, well-managed, with religious liberty for all believers in the Trinity...Until Protestants burned half the place down and revoked the Toleration Act.
Pity, that.
I will leave with an excerpt from George Washington's letter to the Catholics of the United States. Sadly, it seems that General Washington spoke too soon in his presumption that Catholic contributions to the United States would be remembered.
"I presume that your fellow-citizens will not forget the patriotic part which you took in the accomplishment of their Revolution, and the establishment of their government; or the important assistance which they received from a nation in which the Roman Catholic faith is professed."
Your statement erroneous, because Maryland had to be taken over by Huguenots and run properly.
