So America was a Protestant country from it's founding, both in colonial and post-revolutionary times.
The Protestant way of religion was much more in keeping with the values and principles of the American identity.
The factors of Catholicism are primarily two fold:
1) It destroyed the largely homogeneous population of the US, instead of white Anglo Protestants that shared a culture and history from Britain, the nation now had Polish, German, and other alien cultures and values.
2) The Catholics were a people of two flags, they have loyalties to the Pope as if he was a king and it changed the ethical backbone of the population, Catholics follow a religion which has a push for subservience to authority, especially to a human. Which is not the principles that support a people who are above the government, but instead a people that should follow government.
