The Calverts' dream of making Maryland a refuge for wealthy Catholics faced significant challenges, including political conflicts and religious tensions. While they initially succeeded in establishing a colony that offered religious freedom, the influx of Protestant settlers led to a shift in power dynamics. Over time, the colony experienced a decline in Catholic influence, ultimately compromising the original vision of Maryland as a Catholic stronghold. The dream transformed as the colony evolved into a more diverse and religiously pluralistic society.

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.
