The Maryland Toleration Acts of 1649 declared religious freedom to all Christian denominations.
In 1655, Maryland experienced a significant political conflict known as the "Covenanter Rebellion." This uprising was led by Protestant dissenters against the Catholic-controlled colonial government under Governor William Stone. The rebellion aimed to assert Protestant rights and culminated in a brief period where the rebels gained control of the government, leading to increased tensions between Catholic and Protestant settlers in the colony. Ultimately, the rebellion was suppressed, and the original government was restored.
The Calverts' dream of making Maryland a haven for Catholics faced significant challenges, including rising tensions between Protestant and Catholic populations. After the Protestant Revolution and subsequent political shifts, such as the Glorious Revolution in England, the Catholic population in Maryland experienced increasing persecution and loss of political power. By the late 17th century, laws were enacted that restricted Catholic rights, undermining the original vision of religious tolerance that the Calverts had sought for the colony. Ultimately, Maryland evolved into a predominantly Protestant colony, contrasting sharply with the Calverts' aspirations.

The greatest challenge facing the Maryland colony was the struggle for religious tolerance amidst a backdrop of political and social conflict. Founded as a refuge for Catholics, Maryland encountered tensions between Protestant and Catholic settlers, which sometimes escalated into violence. Additionally, the colony faced economic difficulties, land disputes, and external threats from Indigenous peoples and rival colonies. These challenges ultimately shaped Maryland's development and its commitment to religious freedom.

The event that threatened Lord Baltimore's authority in Maryland was the Protestant Rebellion of 1689, also known as the Coode's Rebellion. This uprising was fueled by tensions between the Protestant majority and the Catholic minority, as Lord Baltimore was a Catholic and had significant control over the colony. The rebellion led to the overthrow of Lord Baltimore's government, resulting in the temporary loss of his proprietary powers and the establishment of a Protestant-led government in Maryland. Ultimately, this event highlighted the religious and political conflicts that could undermine his authority in the colony.
The Act of Toleration, passed in 1649 in Maryland, aimed to protect Catholics by granting religious freedom to all Christians. However, it backfired by inflaming tensions between Catholics and Protestant settlers, who felt threatened by the preferential treatment of Catholics. This led to increased hostility and ultimately to the Protestant Revolution of 1689, which significantly diminished Catholic power and influence in the colony, reversing many of the protections initially granted. As a result, the Act failed to secure lasting safety for Catholics and instead contributed to their marginalization.
There is no difference. Catholics play the same sports and in the same manner as a Protestant.
Protestant worship was in the local language. Catholic worship was in Latin. The protestant congregations sang hymns. The Catholic congregations did not. Since the Lutheran worship service was a translation of the Roman Catholic one before Trent, little difference existed there.
