Father Coughlin : Communism v Christianity

This is a video of Father Coughlin who broadcasted over the US airwaves in the 30's and 40's. He was regarded as a militant anti-communist, who campaigned to keep America out of World War II.

After the election in 1936, Father Coughlin’s idea for a better America went against Roosevelt’s pro-capitalist initiative, and his disdain for money-hungry politics became all too evident in his future broadcasts. Coughlin then worked to help worker’s rights and formed the National Union for Social Justice.

Father Coughlin became a sympathetic supporter of the fascist policies of Hitler and Mussolini. His CBS radio broadcasts were blatantly aimed at the Jewish community, citing that "international conspiracy of Jewish bankers" caused the Great Depression, and that Jewish bankers were behind the Russian Revolution. The Roman Catholic Church eventually ordered him from the airwaves for alleged anti Jewish views.
