Claims Against the Catholic Church

[JMadonna]

I don't know whether other Southern states had Catholic influence related to slavery. Remember that Maryland was founded as a Catholic colony, so that gave the denomination a good foot in the door in the establishment of political and social values in the colony/state.

Being a Catholic and currently on vacation in Ga, I can tell you, finding an Alabama Crimson Tide fan would be easier than finding a Catholic church down here. I think the Church still considers this Missionary Territory.
