Lord Baltimore, I would like to grant land to built an American Settlement in Maryland
1634
Thank you King James I, I shall grow a Catholic American settlement in Maryland. Hopefully many Catholics will take refuge here as we extend freedom of worship to all

John Carroll
We must declare independence! And  also grant freedom of religion! No more big government bodies. 
Pope Pius VI, we need a bishop in America! We fear that a foreign bishop will bring suspicion to the new republic. The priest have voted me as bishop
Ok John Carroll, I will grant your request sometime this July. Establish an order in the US, as priests are running their own parishes.
Due to the establishment of three new seminaries, the number of priests multiplied sixfold during the time of 1776-1815. The number of Catholics also rose from 30,000 to over 200,000 
Maybe us Irish people should move here and cause the amount of Catholics to grow from half a million to three million in 1830 to 1860
