This article examines the evolution of Bellow’s proposal for a newly reformed Unitarian “catholic” church during the 1850s and 1860s. For Bellows in particular, political, cultural, and ecclesiastical matters collided in his efforts to transform a diffuse set of liberal Christian churches in fellowship into a denomination of national, even global, caliber. The creation of this “new catholic church” would, in turn, help to heal an ailing nation. There are two questions driving this narrative. First, how did Bellows arrive at the conclusion that Unitarianism was the future of Christendom, the more “Protestant-Protestantism,” or even more boldly, the “more Catholic-Catholicism?” Secondly, how did Bellows arrive at the conclusion that uniting Christendom under a “catholic” Unitarian banner could unite a fractured country? During the early 1860s, the language of nationalism and catholicity merged in Bellows’ organization of the National Convention.

本文考察了贝娄关于1850年代和1860年代新改革的一神论“天主教”教会的提议的演变。特别是对于贝洛斯而言，政治，文化和教会事务在他的努力中发生了冲突，他的努力是将分散的自由基督教教会团契转变为国家甚至全球能力的教派。反过来，建立“新的天主教会”将有助于治愈一个生病的国家。有两个问题驱动着这种叙述。首先，贝洛斯如何得出一个结论，即一神论是基督教世界的未来，更是“新教新教”，或者甚至更大胆地是“更天主教的天主教”？其次，贝卢斯如何得出结论，在“天主教”一神论旗帜下团结基督教世界可以团结一个破碎的国家？在1860年代初期，
