I know of no country that was started by Catholics to avoid persecution by the British. However, one of the colonies, Maryland, was created as a refuge for English Catholics. Later it became the state of Maryland.

Why do some Irish Catholics become terrorist?

This has happened to very few Catholics and their terrorist actions were certainly not those of a Catholic. It happened because Catholics were made feel and were treated as second class citizens, compared to Protestants..AnswerThis has little if nothing to do with religion. The English came in and took over Ireland, subjecting them, for many years, to cruel oppression. It just so happens that the English were all protestant and the Irish were all Catholic. It has mainly been a fight by the Irish to reclaim their country. It has NOTHING to do with "Catholics" becoming "terrorists".
