America's First Bishop was Friends with Benjamin Franklin
More McGrady with Katie
John Carroll, born in Maryland, was sent to Europe to study, became a Jesuit, and eventually made his way back to the U.S. and somehow ended up on an epic roadtrip to Canada with Ben Franklin. That's not the premise of a strange buddy-cop film, but instead the story of Bishop John Carroll, who was appointed the first Bishop of Baltimore on this day, in 1789, by Pope Pius VI.
