Lord Baltimore was a Catholic. therefore, when he founded Maryland, it was legal to be a Catholic there, unlike the other colonies. You had to belong to the state religion of England (Anglican) or the Puritan church. Therefore Maryland was a safe haven for Catholic immigrants to the New World, for a while at least.
