Description: A research paper on the "Americanist" heresy of the nineteenth century.
Phantom Heresy? Americanist Crisis and the U.S. Roman Catholic Church For most people, the word "Americanism" may conjure up both positive and negative images, from economic strength to Vietnam, democracy to crass materialism. At the turn of the century however, many Americans viewed the United States as the shining city on the hill, a blessed nation full of optimism and teeming with opportunity. This is why the idea of an "Americanist" heresy seemed offensive to most Americans and, for that matter, the entire world. All large movements have large prehistories and many seemingly unrelated factors that converge to create the historical zenith and conclusion of the movement. Americanism is no different. The causes of Americanism are rooted in an amalgam of factors including race, nationality, language, ideology, church politics, civil politics, theology, ecclesiology, and simple personality conflicts. A movement with such broad foundations would be impossible to cover within a small research paper. Whole books have been written on the subject. In this paper, the author will attempt to examine the major causes, players, development, condemnation and future ramifications of the Americanist heresy.
