American Freedom and Catholic Power : ウィキペディア英語版 | American Freedom and Catholic Power
''American Freedom and Catholic Power'' is an anti-Catholic〔(The Religious Test: Why We Must Question the Beliefs of Our Leaders ) By Damon Linker. WW Norton p.70〕 book by American writer Paul Blanshard, published in 1949 by Beacon Press. Blanshard asserted that America had a "Catholic problem" in that the Church was an "undemocratic system of alien control". The book has been described as bigoted and "vicious",〔( Journal of church and state, Volume 1 ) Baylor University. J.M. Dawson Studies in Church and State, p. 150〕 propaganda〔Manning, Martin J. and Herbert Romerstein, (Historical dictionary of American propaganda ), p. 49, Greenwood Publishing 2004 〕 and as "the most unusual bestseller of 1949-1950".〔(Catholicism and American freedom: a history ) By John T. McGreevy. WW Norton p. 166〕 It was based on a series of articles that he had published in the magazine ''The Nation''. Blanshard's autobiography indicates that his precipitating concern in 1946, which propelled him to commence research, was the influence of Catholic doctrine upon the practice of medicine generally, and obstetrics specifically. Some reviewers thought that the book incorporated nativist sentiments into its anti-Catholicism, including that the Church was a foreign power in America determined to dominate the world.〔Lockwood, Robert P., (Anti-Catholicism in American Culture ), p. 41-43, 2000, Our Sunday Visitor Publishing〕〔(The New Anti-Catholicism: The Last Acceptable Prejudice ) By Philip Jenkins〕 In the prologue, Blanshard said that he was not opposed to the Catholic religion or to Catholic Americans, but that the church's hierarchy had an undue influence on legislation, education and medical practice. ==Writings in ''The Nation''== In the late 1940s Blanshard published a series of articles that questioned and criticized specific activities and goals of the Catholic Church in the United States. New York school libraries were pressured to cancel subscriptions to ''The Nation'' by Cardinal Francis Spellman, an action denounced by Eleanor Roosevelt.〔(The Kennedys: America's Emerald Kings ) By Thomas Maier. Basic Books. p 252.〕 The series of articles formed the basis for the book published by Beacon Press in their book series entitled Series in Freedom and Power.〔( 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「American Freedom and Catholic Power」の詳細全文を読む
