No it wasn't. It was about rejecting monarchies and embracing the right to govern oneself.

"At the time Charles Carroll of Carrollton signed the Declaration, it was against the law for a Catholic to hold public office or to vote. Although Maryland was founded by and for Catholics in 1634, in 1649 and, later, in 1689 after the Glorious Revolution placed severe restrictions on Catholics in England, the laws were changed in Maryland, and Catholicism was repressed."

"Daniel Carroll of Rock Creek (1730-1796) was a member of the Continental Congress (1781-1783), and a signer of the Articles of Confederation. He was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention and one of only two Catholic signers of the United States Constitution. (The other Catholic signer was Thomas Fitzsimons of Pennsylvania.) At the Constitutional Convention, Daniel Carroll played an essential role in formulating the limitation of the powers of the federal government. He was the author of the presumption enshrined in the Constitution that powers not specifically delegated to the federal government were reserved to the states or to the people."

Do some research.

St. Peter found the Catholic Church and was one of Jesus Christ's apostles. Catholicism is not paganism.

You call my source propaganda but don't even list one of your own.

You fight those who are your allies in conservatism because it doesn't fit your worldview when there are much bigger fish to fry like the American left.
