Description:Excerpt from Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Vol. 32 "Ark" and the "Dove," reached their new home at St. Clements and St. Mary's City, along the Chesapeake, in 1634, a bare fourteen years after the Plymouth expedition had set foot on their New England plantation. The two settlements present similarities and differences. The chief of the likenesses was that both the New Englanders and the Marylanders sought an asylum on this side of the Atlantic against religious persecution; and the leading difference is that, whereas the Plymouth fugitives turned persecutors themselves in the name of religion, the Catholic Pilgrims of Maryland have the proud distinction and honor of having been the first colonial settlers in North America to tolerate complete liberty of conscience. They were the first to recognize in theory and in practice that, as Cardinal Manning has said, "to force men to profess what they do not believe is contrary to the law of God, and to generate faith by force is morally impossible." They not only preached but practised religious toleration. The claim that the Maryland Pilgrims were the forerunners and champions of liberty of conscience in all the thirteen colonies which formed the nucleus of the United States: of America, however much it may be challenged in favor of the Rhode Island Colony, founded in 1636 by Roger Williams, cannot be seriously contested for the Plymouth Pilgrims. This may not be the popular conception - thanks to the profuse panegyrists of the Pilgrim Fathers; but it is the measured verdict of such writers and students of history as Winsor, Bancroft, Mr. Justice Story, Chalmers, General Bradley T. Johnson, and Usher. And not one of these is a Catholic. This contrast between the two colonies is interesting and instructive.
