- Catholic_Church_in_the_United_States abstract "The Catholic Church in the United States is part of the worldwide Catholic Church.With 69.4 million members, it is the largest religious body in the United States, comprising 22% of the population. The United States has the fourth largest Catholic population in the world, after Brazil, Mexico and the Philippines, the largest Catholic minority population, and the largest English-speaking Catholic population.Catholicism arrived in what is now the United States in the earliest days of the European colonization of the Americas. The first Catholics were Spanish missionaries who came with Christopher Columbus to the New World on his second voyage in 1493. In the 16th and 17th centuries, they established missions in what are now Florida, Georgia, Texas, New Mexico, Puerto Rico, and later in California. French colonization in the early 18th century saw missions established in Louisiana, St. Louis, New Orleans, Biloxi, Mobile, the Alabamas, Natchez, Yazoo, Natchitoches, Arkansas, Illinois, and Michigan. In 1789 the Archdiocese of Baltimore was the first diocese established in the United States and John Carroll, whose brother Daniel was one of five men to sign both the Articles of Confederation (1778) and the United States Constitution (1787), was the first American bishop.The number of Catholics grew from the early 19th century through immigration and the acquisition of the predominately Catholic former possessions of France, Spain, and Mexico, followed in the mid-19th century by a rapid influx of Irish, German, Italian and Polish immigrants from Europe, making Catholicism the largest religious body in the United States. This increase was met by widespread prejudice and hostility, often resulting in riots and the burning of churches, convents, and seminaries. The Know Nothings, an anti-Catholic nativist movement, was founded in the mid 19th century in an attempt to restrict Catholic immigration and was later followed by the Order of United American Mechanics, the Ku Klux Klan, the American Protective Association, and the Junior Order of United American Mechanics.The integration of Catholics into American society was marked by the election of John F. Kennedy as President in 1960. Since then, the percentage of Americans who are Catholic has remained at around 25%, due in large part to increases in the Hispanic, especially Mexican American, population which have balanced losses of self-identifying Catholics among other ethnic groups. As of 2015 Catholics serve as Vice President (Joe Biden), Speaker of the House of Representatives (John Boehner), Chief Justice (John Roberts), Justices of the Supreme Court (six out of nine, including Roberts), a plurality in the United States Congress and Governors.".
