No. Other formerly Catholic countries which, in the aftermath of the Protestant Reformation, officially outlawed the practice of Catholicism (although most have subsequently reversed that position) include: Scotland, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, the German confederation, Switzerland, and France. (In the case of France, at the time of the French Revolution, the Catholic clergy were required to take an oath of allegiance to the French State in preference to the Pope. Those who refused were imprisoned or exiled.)
