William Penn
William Penn’s colony of Pennsylvania. Catholics in this colony perhaps enjoyed the greatest freedoms in order that they might celebrate their faith from William Penn’s great avocation of the liberty of conscience and religious principles. Up until the 1689 Tolerance Act, Catholics were considered foreign powers, loyal to the Pope and were barred from public office. More restrictive legislation came in Pennsylvania after 1700.
