  • Americanism was a group of related heresies, that were thought to have been held by many members of the Catholic Church in the United States of America in the 1890s. The Americanist heresy is defined as the endorsement of freedom of the press, liberalism, individualism, and complete separation of church and state. The American insistence upon individual initiative was judged by Rome to be incompatible with what European conservatives considered to be the fundamental principle of Catholicism, obedience to authority. Moreover, the conservatives were anti-republicans who distrusted and disliked the democratic ideas that were dominant in America. This kind of pioneer-inspired reinvention alarmed Rome. Europeans began talking about an "Americanist" movement that had swept the nation's churches and would soon lead to the American Church claiming independence for itself. In spite of little if any evidence of such sentiments,Pope Leo XIII wrote against these ideas in his encyclical to Cardinal James Gibbons. In 1898 Leo XIII lamented an America where church and state are "dissevered and divorced," and wrote of his preference for a closer relationship between the Catholic church and the State, along European lines.
  • Americanismo, también denominada herejía de las obras, es el nombre con el que la Iglesia Católica designa como herejía un movimiento religioso que se había desarrollado entre los católicos de los Estados Unidos desde finales del siglo XIX con el nombre de activismo, consistente esencialmente en una preferencia por la acción antes que por la oración. Fue definida por León XIII el 22 de enero de 1899 en una carta al Arzobispo de Baltimore. Pío XII la redefinió como herejía de la acción. Una parte de la jerarquía católica estadounidense continuó demostrando posiciones próximas al americanismo, como el Arzobispo de Nueva York, cardenal Francis J. Spellman, que publicó en 1945 su obra Acción ahora mismo.
  • Americanismo é o termo usado no início do século XX pela Igreja Católica para se referir àquilo que ela julgava ser uma heresia, praticada por muitos elementos da Igreja Católica nos Estados Unidos. Essencialmente, este rótulo era sobretudo aplicado aos bispos norte-americanos por bispos de outros países.
