(Father) Coughlin (Pronounced Cogg-linn) was a politically inclined Catholic Priest in the Detroit Area. he had a vigorous political campaign with magazines ( Social Justice) a horribly ironic title)- he was bigotted and on the side of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy as well- an violent opposed to much of Roosevelt"s political deeds. oddly, maybe due to Canon Law, he never ran for public officer, but was an energetic rebel-rouser- using radio , pamphlets, and publications to expand and expound his message. he was eventually silenced by his Bishop and Coughlinism did not survive the late thirties as a political movement, with religious angles added, he was something of the Rush Limbaugh of his times- a Demagogue, who like most, never actually ran for public office. to some extent Lindbergh as head of America First, was a similar bloke.
