In 1634, Charles I of England appointed a Catholic convert, Cecil Calvert, Lord Baltimore, to be proprietor of the new territory of Maryland, so it was established as the one colony in which Catholics would be free to worship. The early protestant settlers soon put an end to that by burning St. Mary's (the Catholic town), plundering Catholic estates, and hanging four Catholics. - extracted from Hitchcock's History of the Catholic Church.

Can an Anglican Catholic priest say Mass at a Roman Catholic Church?

The Anglican Church is not called the Anglican Catholic Church, and the Catholic Church is not formally known as the Roman Catholic Church even though the Vatican is indeed located in Rome. Your question therefore would more accurately read, can an Anglican priest say Mass at a Catholic Church. The answer is, the Catholic religion does not allow Anglican priests to officiate at their rituals. The Anglican Church, despite being extremely similar to the Catholic Church in most respects, is nonetheless regarded by Catholicism as a heretical schism.
