In England, the Toleration act was granted by Parliament and approved by the Crown in 1689 to grant toleration to Trinitarian Christians, it purposely did not apply to Catholics, nontrinitarians and atheists. In Maryland a similar Act was passed in 1649, along the same lines, only applying to Trinitarian Christians - but not Catholics. In 1712 Scotland passed a similar act to allow greater freedom to Anglicans.

Did the Catholics disapprove of Protestants because they believed that the Protestant denomination emphasized rituals and did not allow for individual thinking?
No, just the opposite. The Protestants didn't believe that the number of rituals were as important as the worship of God. They also believed that the Bible is the word of God, that anyone could read it, and that the language of the church service didn't have to be Latin.But pretty much the Catholics didn't like the Protestants because they said that the Catholic way of doing things wasn't good.The rituals are part of the worship of God. The Protestant reliance on the Bible and individual interpretation is the reason there are 300+ Protestant sects.
Why was Maryland Colony looking for religious freedom?
England was in flux during this period of time. The official religion bounced back and forth from Catholism (Henry VII) to Protestant (Henry VIII) back to Catholism and finally back to Protestant. In the time of King George, it was a sort of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" thing, which was better than the active hunting and destroying thing. Catholics believed that being further away would allow them to worship the way they wished, while still being loyal to the crown and helping England (and themselves) financially. TRUE
