Protestant Americans often believed that Roman Catholics could never be loyal Americans due to concerns about divided loyalties, fearing that Catholics would prioritize their allegiance to the Pope and the Catholic Church over their commitment to the United States. This perception was fueled by historical tensions, religious differences, and anti-Catholic sentiment, particularly during periods of Immigration when large numbers of Catholics arrived in the U.S. Additionally, Protestant leaders sometimes portrayed Catholicism as a threat to American values and democracy, further entrenching these beliefs among Protestant communities.

What is the differences and similarities of native Americans and Roman Catholics?

First of all, it's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. Catholics are all members of the Church that Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, founded in the first century on the apostle Peter (see Matthew 16:17-19). In the twenty-first century Catholics are found all over the world, although I think there are very few in Antarctica. Native Americans is a term that is used for the descendants of the natives who lived in America before the European explorers and settlers came. It refers to any number of people from any number of different tribes and groups of people some of whom are Catholic. Catholicism is a religion, and Native Americans refers to descendants from a geographical location. The two terms are widely different and really can't be contrasted and compared, as I said, there are Native Americans who are Catholics, and there are more Catholics who are not Native Americans.
