Honderd jaar later richt Leo XIII zich in zijn encycliek Longinqua Oceani tot de Kerk in de Verenigde Staten, en uit lof en waarschuwingen. In 1939 had de Kerk in de VS reeds negentien provincies en 115 bisdommen. Pius XII, die zich zijn bezoek van drie jaar eerder herinnert, is trots op deze inspanningen. Hij looft de Katholieke Universiteit van Amerika in Washington D.C. Verder steunt hij het initiatief van de Amerikaanse bisschoppen om een Amerikaans college op te richten in Rome. De encycliek adviseert de katholieke bisschoppen actief raciale gerechtigheid na te streven door de toegang van negers tot katholieke scholen te verbeteren. Het bekritiseert verder blind materialisme. Individueel geluk kan enkel bereikt worden door Gods geboden na te leven.

One hundred years later, in 1889, Pope Leo XIII in his encyclical Longinqua Oceani addressed the Church in the United States and issued praise and admonitions. By 1939, the Church in the USA has nineteen provinces, 115 dioceses, 200 seminaries and numerous institutions. Pius XII, who recalls his official visit three years earlier, is proud of these efforts. He praises the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C., (which way back had offered him a professorship in 1903). The Pontiff supports the wishes of the American bishops to establish an American College in Rome. The encyclical advises Catholic bishops to be active in advancing racial justice by improving the access of Negroes to Catholic schools. It also critiques blind materialism. Individual happiness can only be achieved by obeying the Commandments of God, whose non-observance undermines the basis of true civilization
