- While many went to the New World from England seeking religious freedom, Catholics long faced persecution in the colonies, which meant they were forced to worship discreetly and sometimes even secretly. As EWTN Correspondent Catherine Hadro explains, one church in Saint Mary's County Maryland managed to survive those challenges as well as stand the test of time.

I am descended from Catholics in St. Mary's County, MD. Still practicing my faith. Many people have no idea that Catholics could not have churches in this country until after the Revolution.
Maryland was the only colony where Catholics could safely and freely practice their faith. Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton moved to Maryland after she converted because of the fact that she could freely practice her new Catholic faith.
@@femaleKCRoyalsFan Figures that of all the colonies (later turned states) that Catholicism could be freely practiced, it would be one named for Our Blessed Mother.
@@femaleKCRoyalsFan And now its an Abortion rights state with no sanctuary for the innocent unborn. So, glad I left that present day sh..thole state.
From 1699 to the Revolution, Catholics could not have Churches in America
@@splashenful Actually, the colony was named for Queen Henrietta Maria. The Calverts were Catholics and the Jesuits were there at the settling, but because of events in England - the English Civil War - Catholics in MD and throughout America were banned from openly practicing their religion. Protestants from VA came up to MD and were originally welcomed by the Catholic founders. The Protestants concentrated power in Annapolis and eventually were able to overwhelm the MD Catholics' control of the colony.
Lived in Maryland most of my life, took moving across the country for me to become Catholic. God bless Maryland!
As a Naval War College graduate, I have learned much about the meaning of the Day of Independence, the 4th of July. As a Catholic, I appreciate those who fled Europe to come to America to start their new lives, building churches and practicing their Catholic faith under persecution. America is slipping into wokeism, a form of communism, and Catholics are facing persecution once again. Pray that we remain steadfast in faith, seeking protection from the Holy Family to strengthen our marriage and family under attack in all facets of society. Great reporting. God bless!
Recently the government tried to justify gun control laws using the argument that in the UK in the 1600’s Catholics were not allowed to have arms so the second amendment was void !
Not remembering I guess the 2nd was put in there just so the government of the U.S. was prohibited
From doing that type of action !
In Easton MD our parish held mass each week in a private house .
It was the only place mass was secretly said by a hiding priest during the time Catholics were outlawed !
The richest man in MD was a Catholic and his house in Annapolis is part of the parish there .
Considered one of the Founding Fathers of the United States,[4] Carroll was known contemporaneously as the "First Citizen" of the American Colonies, a consequence of signing articles in the Maryland Gazette with that pen name.[5] He served as a delegate to the Continental Congress and Confederation Congress. Carroll later served as the first United States Senator for Maryland. Of all of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, Carroll was one of the wealthiest and most formally educated. A product of his 17-year Jesuit education in France, Carroll spoke five languages fluently.
Born in Annapolis, Maryland, Carroll inherited vast agricultural estates and was regarded as the wealthiest man in the American colonies when the American Revolution commenced in 1775. His personal fortune at this time was reputed to be 2,100,000 pounds sterling, the equivalent to £338,402,985 in 2023 (US$375 million). In addition, Carroll presided over his manor in Maryland, a 10,000-acre estate, and claimed as his property approximately 300 slaves. Though barred from holding office in Maryland because of his religion, Carroll emerged as a leader of the state's movement for independence. He was a delegate to the Annapolis Convention and was selected as a delegate to the Continental Congress in 1776. He was part of an unsuccessful diplomatic mission, which also included Benjamin Franklin and Samuel Chase, that Congress sent to Quebec in hopes of winning the support of French Canadians.

❤ thanks for this history lesson 🎉🕊😇👍
Thank you.
Most people don't know about William Penn and his Charter of Privileges,which allowed freedom of worship in the belief in one God.
Or wording close to that.
Why's it called Maryland? Thought the whole point of it was to allow a place for Catholics to settle.
Under Francis many Catholics no longer can worship God like the original congregation did at St Francis Xavier Church. Attend the Latin Mass.
What you said is not true. Pope Francis allows the Latin Mass to be performed by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP). Because they perform it correctly and do not sow schismatic heresy. Christ desires unity, not division. Only Protestants encourage people to disobey the Magisterium.
Is that why Maryland is called Maryland!
Yes, Maryland was founded by Lord Baltimore, a Catholic, as a colony where Catholics could be free. Maryland is named for the Blessed Virgin Mary.
@@erikriza7165 thanks for your response. I'm in UK.
@@outoforbit00 You're welcome. Greetings from the colonies. Long live the King, but he can't be the King of America any more. I am in southern Illinois, near St. Louis.
@@erikriza7165 Baltimore Catechism.
I didn't know Catholics weren't allowed to worship in America...
What???
Irish Catholics were sold as slaves as well, just fyi. Many during the time of the supposed potato famine which was more like the English stealing everything that wasn’t a potato first and then the potato blight hit.
From 1700-1784, Catholic priests were prohibited from entering New York City.
It is a beautiful church, but I hope that they did not talk too much in church. One should worship God in church and leave talking to the fields outside.
i thought the same thing. Catholic people talk in church these days like they were in the parish hall. They can't give their attention to God, even when they are in His very Presence for an hour. They have the rest of the week, and the rest of the planet, to talk to each other. And the priest did not even genuflect in front of the Tabernacle. He bowed.
I do not think it was so simple as the EWTN reporter wishes to make it out to be. Maryland was actually established as a Catholic colony by Lord Baltimore with the sanction of the British Crown. The reason why there were restrictions on RCs before the revolution is that the assembly and governor of Maryland had imposed them on the RCs. Few RCs had in the end immigrated contrary to the intention of the Crown and Lord Baltimore. Therefore their neighbours in a sense restricted them, not the British government or the Crown. That might not sound like a very anti-British or pro-American story for July 4th, but I think that it is closer to the truth.
Because their neighbors were anti-Catholic Puritans. Puritans also made it illegal to celebrate Christmas and Easter. I pray everyday for Calvinists to return to the Church.
@@exercisethemind Yes, they probably were some what puritan as were most of the American revolutionaries. G. Washington was more of a libertarian who hardly went to church. I visited his parish church in Richmond and remember the historian saying that he hardly darkened the door. My main point was that the Catholics were not persecuted by the King George III and the British government which was what the EWTN lady was implying.
@@stephanottawa7890 George 3 was not as aggressively anti-Catholic as his predecessors, for example during the American Revolution he relaxed restrictions against Catholic priests in Ireland in order to help his military recruitment there. But he bitterly opposed any further emancipation, probably because he was only King due to the fact that he was a Protestant who swore to oppose the Catholic Church. And though there were many anti-Catholics among the American revolutionaries, there was also Charles Calvert who pushed for freedom of religion, which protected Catholics more than anyone else in the largely anti-Catholic new country. But Catholic religious practice in Maryland dates back to 1634, long before the Revolution. At that time Catholics moved to Maryland because it was illegal to practice Catholicism in the UK. And not long after came the English Civil War with its extreme violence and looting against Catholics inspired by Cromwell, including by Protestants against Catholics in Maryland. Thank God for Lord Baltimore and the Maryland Toleration Act for restoring the rights of Catholics to worship in Maryland.
@@exercisethemind Thanks for all the information. I really appreciate knowing more about Colonial America. Each colony had a somewhat different history and that is why I find it so fascinating. Do you know of other secret or semi-secret Catholic groups in early America? I had heard that there were. Possibly in the Carolinas?
@@stephanottawa7890 You might find Bardstown, KY, interesting.
How ironic that a Jesuit Pope is now telling a good many that they can’t practice their faith. And if you dare speak out you are cancelled by your loving faith. Truly saddening.
How else did you think it would go down at the end of the age?
Who is he telling that to?
