Answer: I'm sorry, but the statement you provided is incorrect. In the wake of the Boston Tea Party, Parliament passed the Coercive Acts, also known as the Intolerable Acts, in 1774. The purpose of these Acts was to punish the colony of Massachusetts for its role in the Tea Party and to exert greater control over the American colonies.
The Coercive Acts consisted of four laws. The Boston Port Act closed the port of Boston until the city paid for the destroyed tea. The Massachusetts Government Act altered the colony's charter and increased the power of the royal governor at the expense of the colonial assembly. The Administration of Justice Act allowed royal officials accused of crimes to be tried in England instead of the colonies. Finally, the Quartering Act required colonists to provide housing and supplies to British troops.
None of the Coercive Acts recognized Roman Catholicism or permitted Catholics to retain their old customs and institutions. The Acts were specifically targeted at Massachusetts and did not have any provisions related to religion or customs.
