What was the "Maryland Tradition".?

Question

...during early colonization of American...has to do with Catholicism.

Answer 1

The Calverts, who were Catholic & founded Maryland, needed to attract settlers to make the colonial venture profitable. In order to protect the Catholics from the immigrating Puritans and Protestants, the Calverts supported the Act Concerning Religion. The Act allowed freedom of worship for all Christians in Maryland.

The typically understood view that Maryland was intended as a safe haven for Catholics has been disputed by many historians who view Cæcilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore also known as Lord Baltimore, reasoning for founding the colony to be primarily economic and not religious based. The growing numbers of Puritans and their power led to the Toleration Act of 1649 which protected many of the rights for Catholics as well as Protestants, but not of other religions.

While the act in itself is a monumental step forward for freedom it is not without its own hypocrisy. The act in theory is tolerant of all religious practices and allows for protection of some groups from persecution, but it denies the freedom of religion for those who are not Christian. “What prevailed eventually were insights into valid principles of freedom, which won devoted adherents. These disciples of liberty left to subsequent generations a tradition of such principles.” Thomas O'brien Hanley
