Read on him more ...
Read the book Faith of Our Fathers.
Uh...I studied this heretic. I have held in my hands letters and docuмents THAT HE WROTE HIMSELF IN INK. I know exactly what and who Gibbons was.
BTW, I have read
Faith of Our Fathers, several times during the past 35 years, beginning the first read at age 17. The book is not even a serious theological work. It is a popular and poorly argued apologetics tract filled with Americanist error.
Again, I have read Gibbons. I have studied Gibbons within his historical and political context.
The Americanists in these USA really coasted by because of the vast distance from Europe (Atlantic Ocean), by the politicking in Rome of Americanist and Gibbon's personal secretary Rev. (later Bishop) Denis O'Connell as rector of the North American College, and, above all, by thd scurrilous tract by Abbé Felix Klein entitled Americanism: the Phantom Heresy that white-washed and denied the very existance of the Americanist heresy and makinh Pope Leo XIII look foolish for composing
Testem Benevolentiæ.
Americanist was birthed by Paulist Rev. Isaac Hecker, nutured by Cardinal Gibbons, promoted by John Catdinal Ireland, and universalised by Jesuit Rev. John Courtney Murray.
Americanism is the progenitor of Modernism.
