Interesting: Three of the first English colonies (Mass., RI, Ct.) now have Catholic as their largest church/denomination. Historically-Catholic Mary-land no longer has more Catholics than other churches.
"Roman Catholicism in the United States has grown dramatically over the country's history, from being a tiny minority faith during the time of the Thirteen Colonies to being the country's largest Christian denomination today. With 76.9 million residents professing the faith in 2003, the United States has the the third-largest Catholic population in the world after Brazil and Mexico. Approximately 26% of the American population is Catholic; it is four times the size of the next largest denomination, the Southern Baptist Convention."
