"e;The persons in America who were the most opposed to Great Britain had also, in        general, distinguished themselves by being particularly hostile to Catholics."e; So        wrote the minister, teacher, and sometime-historian Jonathan Boucher from his home        in Surrey, England, in 1797. He blamed "e;old prejudices against papists"e; for the        Revolution's popularity - especially in Maryland, where most of the non-Canadian        Catholics in British North America lived.Many historians since Boucher have noted        the role that anti-Catholicism played in stirring up animosity against the king and        Parliament. Yet, in spite of the rhetoric, Maryland's Catholics supported the        independence movement more enthusiastically than their Protestant neighbors. Not        only did Maryland's Catholics embrace the idea of independence, they also embraced        the individualistic, rights-oriented ideology that defined the Revolution, even        though theirs was a communally oriented denomination that stressed the importance of        hierarchy, order, and obligation. Catholic leaders in Europe made it clear that the        war was a "e;sedition"e; worthy of damnation, even as they acknowledged that England had        been no friend to the Catholic Church. So why, then, did "e;papists"e; become        "e;patriots?"e;Maura Jane Farrelly finds that the answer has a long history, one that        begins in England in the early seventeenth century and gains momentum during the        nine decades preceding the American Revolution, when Maryland's Catholics lost a        religious toleration that had been uniquely theirs in the English-speaking world and        were forced to maintain their faith in an environment that was legally hostile and        clerically poor. This experience made Maryland's Catholics the colonists who were        most prepared in 1776 to accept the cultural, ideological, and psychological        implications of a break from England.
