The followers of the Catholic religion were not allowed to settle in Georgia until after the American Revolution. The founding of Georgia in 1732 was influenced by James Oglethorpe and the Trustees of the colony, who sought to create a haven for debtors and the poor, and they implemented restrictions on various groups, including Catholics, due to fears of potential loyalty to Spain, a Catholic nation. It wasn't until after the American Revolution that these restrictions were lifted.
