Preuss upheld the German Catholic community, denounced the heresy of Americanism, promoted the Catholic University of America, and anguished over the anti-German America hysteria during World War I. He provided lengthy commentary regarding the National Catholic Welfare Conference, the anti-Catholic factor in the presidential campaign of 1928, the hardships of the Great Depression, and the liberalism of the New Deal.
He was a conservative intellectual whose father, Edward Friedrich Reinhold Preuss, had also edited a Catholic newspaper. He was intensely loyal to the Vatican.
