So, one might ask, what happens when these two classes collide and come in the form of one person? The result, it appears from history, is rarely all good, perhaps due to the difficulty of reconciling the moral high ground with political mud. Another reason why the political clergyman is usually a failure is that each of the world's major religions has its own identity, culture and even language, and it is often very hard for those outside that culture to understand what a member of the group means by what he is saying. This leaves the door open for misunderstanding and hostility, some of it by design and some by accident. For whatever reasons, clergymen rarely make good politicians, and there is perhaps no better example of this than Father Charles Coughlin, a Depression Era priest turned demagogue who was seen as an angel to some and a devil to others. Both viewpoints had plenty of reasons for their perspectives, for the same man who cruelly castigated the Jews also spoke eloquently on the needs and rights of the most downtrodden in society. The same orator who said, "Roosevelt or Ruin" later cried, "Roosevelt and Ruin." He was a radio priest who came to power after being victimized by the Ku Klux Klan and then used his power to spread racial hatred against others. He was a highly political Catholic who hated the first Catholic presidential candidate in American history. Coughlin has always been a slippery subject to wrap one's mind around, and this was so even at the height of his power, but nobody can deny his influence. In the 1930s, his effective use of the radio revolutionized mass communications, and millions of people listened to his every word. It would have been impossible for well known televangelists and religious figures like Jerry Falwell and Billy Graham to rise to national prominence without Coughlin setting the precedents decades earlier. Father Charles Coughlin: The Life of the Controversial Catholic Priest Who Revolutionized Radio chronicles the colorful life of one of the most famous priests in American history. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Father Coughlin like never before, in no time at all.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKObviously, it is an impossible task to answer every adverse critic of Father Coughlin. Consequently, this book will concern itself, chiefly, with major critics from whom, as from a fountainhead, the minor rivulets of criticism flowed through the channels of the press, radio and public meetings.This book will deal with those matters which relate directly to the main charges registered against Father Coughlin-charges relative to his being a pro-Nazi, an anti-Semite, a falsifier of documents, etc.Every fair-minded reader, despite his personal like or dislike for Father Coughlin, is assured that the purpose of this book is not to spread anti-Semitism. Defining anti-Semitism as a hatred for Jews simply because they are Jews, let it be recorded that this abominable vice at no time was advocated, but at all times was deprecated by Father Coughlin despite gratuitous assertions and publicity to the contrary.The documents employed in the main body of this book have been examined carefully.The object in writing An Answer to Pather Coughlin's Critics will be achieved if fair-minded persons will be given an opportunity to judge for themselves whether or not the attack made against him since November 20, 1938, particularly by the General Jewish Council and the Jewish People's Committee, was founded on reliable facts.
