Alien Rome
Other Available Formats
Overview
"Alien Rome" is a provocative historical treatise that examines the presence and influence of the Roman Catholic Church within the United States during the early 20th century. Written from a staunchly Protestant perspective, Bertrand M. Ripple explores the tensions between traditional American values and the ecclesiastical hierarchy of Rome.
The work delves into themes of religious identity, national loyalty, and the socio-political impact of religious institutions on the American landscape. Ripple presents a detailed critique of what he perceives as a foreign influence encroaching upon the domestic spiritual and political life of the nation. This volume serves as a significant primary source for understanding the religious debates and cultural anxieties that defined a specific era of American history.
Through its examination of church-state relations and theological differences, "Alien Rome" offers readers a window into the polemical literature of the 1920s and the defense of Protestant ideals against perceived external pressures. It remains an essential read for scholars and readers interested in the history of religious conflict and the evolution of American cultural identity.
