Abstract
During the second half of the 19th century in the majority of Europe decreased the social and political influence of the churches. In Hungary the Catholics refused to just stand by and watch the unfavorable developments. An essential part of their struggle was strengthening relations between the clergy and the congregations by establishing religious social organizations. One of such was the Catholic League of Nations. This organization was generally considered to be a success story by Hungarian Catholics. The success was probably what partially inspired the idea that a similar organization should be established among the Catholic Hungarians living in the United States of America. In Hungary they had unreasonably high hopes about the potential of the economic, political, and national renewal of their fellow nationals who emigrated to the New World. Yet, as time went on, they were left to desperately witness their compatriot’s accelerating spiritual detachment from the old country.
