The colony of Maryland was initially established as the only colony that tolerated Catholics, this did not last very long. All of the colonies in what became the United States were established by rabid protestants and puritans who left England because they hated and fear the "Roman" influence on the protestant Church of England, and fled to American to escape Roman influence. It is a sad nation that is founded on such intolerance, and yet viewed itself as being tolerant of any belief - if you don't mention Catholics. This hatred grew so bad in the 19th century as to form several major political parties.
