History

brilliants [131]3 years ago
4 0

American Protestants were afraid of the increased catholic immigration since <u>they felt threatened by the idea of America becoming a Catholic country. </u>

  • On the one hand, Catholics believed a different Christianity than Protestants. Protestants, as opposed to the Catholic church, thought the following:
  1. Less hierarchy in church structure.
  2. The Bible and, not the sacraments, as source of revelation from God
  3. Jesus as the only necessary intercessor with God.
  • There was an prejudice from anti-catholics that has to do with social class or status of the inmigrants. <u>Protestants from upper classes</u>, believed that the inmigrants were poor, therefore, they associated them with crime, danger and laziness.
  • The fear from the American protestants created by the massive flow of catholic inmigrants, was so big that even a popular national organization, the <u>American Protective Association</u>, was founded to promote anti-Catholicism.
