Maryland was established as a Catholic colony, not Deleware
Maryland was established by Catholics for Catholics.
The colony of Maryland was established a Roman Catholic region. Lord Baltimore asked the king for a Catholic state in the New World.
It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. Maryland was established as a colony for persecuted Catholics, however, it didn't work out very well, as the protestants in the colony kept up the persecution.
The colony of Jamestown was established by the English crown. Thus everyone in the colony belonged to the Church of England - a protestant church which was concocted by the English crown to cater to its whims. They were in no way Catholic.
The first colony established in America was Virginia.
Lord Baltimore intended to start a Catholic colony in Maryland. It was successful and it was named after Mary Queen of Scots.
Maryland colony was officially established in 1664. Hope this works for you!
