Did vulgar AMERICANISM corrupt pristine Catholicism in the USA ?
Adaption to capitalist , imperialist , modernist , materialist America corrupted the Catholic Church here long ago . Before the spiritual catastrophe of Vatican II American Catholics were shielded from dark Satanic influence here by their Old Europe Catholic culture of other worldliness.
The All American" Babbit " culture and Elmer Gantry JESUS WANTS YOU TO BE RICH evangelicalism was incompatible to pristine Catholic Church mystique.
True enough , in general so called MODERNISM has polluted the Catholic conscience here.
Sad to see how the Catholic Church hierarchy in the United States made an idolatrous peace with militarism -as if this were really " God's Country ".
Presently it is being seduced by the big lie that anti-Zionism = anti-Semitism. Slobbering over Zionist Apartheid Israel along with Christian Zionists !
What passes for AMERICANISM in the 21st century is more and more hostile to freedom of religion , hostile to Catholic AND Protestant tradition .
The mainstream news media makes anti-Catholicism the last acceptable bigotry. But last time I checked even the American Catholic Church believed in OBJECTIVE REALITY - like a boy is a boy and a girl is a girl . Only the Harvard educated elite will dispute this . They seem to have made an alliance with the obnoxious New Atheism . So has the Democrat Party .
And white working class Christians are the new " deplorable " pariahs in politically correct USA - wallowing in " hate ", THEY say , no matter how often we quote Christ's " Sermon on the Mount ".
[" If this is one face of Christian Zionism—a Protestant face—the Catholic Zionism that I am about to describe presents a different face. It, too, views the foundation of Israel in 1948 as part of the biblical promise of land to God’s chosen people, and views the ingathering of that people as a sign of God’s fidelity to His promises.
