You know the original people who came here left Europe to get away from the Catholic church and all the atrocities they were doing to non catholics. How would you of like it that the government said no catholics are permitted in the original 13 colonies?

It just was about that bad. With the establishment of antiCatholic laws in Maryland in 1639, Pennsylvania turned out to be the least intolerant. Massachussetts was arguably the worst, with 9 or 10 also very oppressive to Catholics (and the Baptists and Quakers).
