To quote my earlier comment:

In terms of Catholic doctrine, "Americanism" means watering down the faith in order to fit in better within the local culture

Helps if you read before posting.

I am not catholic, but to be fair to Pope Leo, I think he is speaking of "professing Catholics". Most of the "Euro trash" you are so correctly referring to are not professing Catholics. I think he is concerned about the Catholic church in America who is doing things like wanting to ordain women priests, ignore abortion (even allowing Catholics, like Pelosi to take Holy Communion even as they vote for and condone Abortion), etc.
