Book Description
As America entered the twentieth century, a difficult question confronted the rapidly-growing Catholic Church: to what degree, if any, should religious practices be adapted to the American milieu? The Catholic hierarchy of the United States in these years was sharply divided between conservatives and "Americanists". The former group believed that republican governments were, per se, opposed to religion. The "Americanists", on the other hand, not only saw democracy as the best possible government for a pluralistic society such as obtained in this nation, but were convinced that a pragmatic approach to cultural problems was an absolute necessity.
