That’s all you have to say? LOL

The point being, it is still misleading in the extreme to say that Catholics generally and Carroll in particular were at that time proscribed from holding office. Carroll held an office when he signed the Declaration. Because of his efforts, and the efforts of many others, the Puritan phase was coming to a close and Maryland’s tradition of toleration was rapidly being re-awakened. Carroll went on to hold many offices in addition to the one he held as a signer of the Declaration.

Until November 1776, the law in Maryland barred Catholics from holding office. Carroll's service before this was during the time of transition.

From STARWISE's link above:

This change of sentiment found expression in Section XXXIII of the Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the new State of Maryland, adopted in November, 1776. In this article it is declared that all persons professing the Christian religion are equally entitled to protection. . .that no person ought to be compelled to frequent or maintain any particular place of worship or any particular ministry.

What do you mean by “crossed the Tiber”?

God bless you. Pres. Bush, for always being faithful to the cause of the inalienable right to life.

Amen, STARWISE! AMEN!

Archbishop Donald Wuerl was Pittsburgh Diocesan bishop for many years, good to see him mentioned in this post.

I would love to see those pictures myself!!

Crossing the Tiber is becoming a Catholic. The Tiber runs through Rome.

"Finally, to realize the promise of America, we must have comprehensive immigration reform that enforces our laws and upholds the dignity of every single person in the United States. (Applause.)"

More euphemistic buzz words. He could enforce the laws now. But he hasn't and recently is only making a modest show of such.

And now is the time for the United States Congress to get a bill to my desk that I can sign. (Applause.)

Sigh. I assume that was merely "polite" applause.

Note he has already plotted with his Senate RINO-cohorts to erase the 700 mile fence he is required by the existing law to build. And he now has additional willing accomplices on other side of the aisle to ram through his Amnesty.
