Anyone who claims to be God and isn't, or anyone who denies someone is God when they are, is probably guilty of blasphemy.
The Catholic Church relies on the oral and written teachings of Christ and the apostles, which were faithfully handed down to us for the purpose of our salvation.
The the most fundamental teaching of the church includes the Trinity doctrine, which teaches that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all co-equal and co-eternal, and that all three share in the same uncreated godly essence and power.
Anyone or any group who denies this, is going to have a difficult time squaring their teachings with those of the Catholic Church.
Unitarians like to make things up "on the fly" and base their beliefs, or the lack of them, on the teachings of men who were not genuine apostles.
Welcome to the wonderful world of protestantism!

In the early historical context, there was a constant state of argument between the trinitarians (father, son and holy spirit all forms of God) and the unitarians (one God). The Roman Catholic Church Canon Law proclaims belief in the trinity. This was established under the rule of Emperor Constantine.
The web sites below will give you additional details regarding the unitarian/trinitarian conflict and Trinitarian Universalism.

Because Unitarians had the nerve to believe things like God has compassion, there are more then one possible translations of the Bible, and conversion by dogma isn't always the most spiritual approach torwards religion. Unitarians and Quakers are awfully damn cool. I could marry a Unitarian or Quaker....even have my children schooled in those faiths. For an agnostic Jew, that's a big statement.

Unitarians are usually rational and don't base their faith mainly on tradition or dogma (like what the Catholic Church did), but on reason. And they also rejected the doctrine of the Trinity and the full divinity of Jesus Christ, claiming that Jesus Christ is a mere human prophet (although some Unitarians like me believe Jesus Christ is fully divine but not God Himself, rather as the divine Son of God).

i'm.I grew up in a fundamentalist Christian domicile. Sunday morning..evening...wednsday...and the different time the door develop into open. via my youngsters I went loopy. all started of with the necronomicon and into Wicca. quickly after determining that it develop into all ineffective I fell into the pit of atheism. Boy i idea I had reached the summit. i develop into an elitist. After about 5 years i began focusing on the scurge of the earth, "Christians"! examining philosophy and looking out heavily for the faults of this faith. I delved further into the historic past of Christianity and lo' and behold if I, ten years after, I grew to develop right into a Catholic...a fish eating Catholic. starting to be up i develop into tought that the Roman Catholic Church develop into the whore of Babylon. No, that is the church on earth led through the spirit. common studing about the position the church got here from. Ask a Christian in the experience that they worship like christians did interior the first 2 or 3 hundred years of the church. Then analyze that to the Early writings, theres countless resources. St. Polycarp, th Didache, St. Justin Martyr...

Pretty simple. Unitarian in itself says one God. Not a father, son and Holy spirit. Just one compassionate God. Pretty blasphemous to the Catholic church.

By definition unitarians rejected the trinity. The trinity is is a central theme to the Catholic faith.

Are you saying that the source you read did not include Roman Catholic statements on the subject? I would guess it had something to do with the fact that Universalists accept all beliefs (or lacks thereof), and maintain that all human beings will be saved.

I was not aware that they were considered more blasphemous than Calvinists.
Are you talking about 19th century or 21 century?
