Background

An alleged heresy in the American Church evidenced by a French translation of Walter Eliot's biography of Isaac Thomas Hecker, founder of the Paulist Fathers. The doctrines in question were condemned by Leo XIII in the apostolic letter Testem Benevolentiae, but American bishops and Paulists said that nobody in the United States taught these doctrines.
