More Catholic American History For the Fourth of July

I mentioned one great Catholic Patriot here at Fourth of July Week Catholic Edition -Catholic Patriot Charles Carroll

Against the Grain has a great post here at Charles Carroll - Catholic Signer to the Declaration

He has other links not regarding Carroll that are worth checking out. Did you know Cardinal Bellarmine affected Jefferson as to the Declaration? That the Electoral College was inspired by the College of Cardinals? That the founding Fathers were very influenced by Catholic thought? That and more are in the links he has listed
