The established church of colonial Georgia was the Church of England, a protestant denomination. Back in England, Catholicism and Protestantism had a history of feuds, a nasty split that began when Martin Luther denounced the Catholic Church for the corruption that plagued it at the time. It makes sense, then, that a predominantly protestant colony like Georgia would discourage Catholics from living there, what with the history between the two religions still so fresh.
