Father Charles Coughlin
Priest whose radio programme - ‘The Golden Hour of the Little Flower’ was influential during the 1930’s.
His listeners contributed $5million to his parish in Detroit. Originally he supported FDR and called the New Deal ‘Christ’s New Deal’. However he felt that it did not do enough and in 1934 he founded the National Union for Social Justice - his aim was to change the monetary system and to redistribute all wealth.
However in the later 1930’s he began to admire European fascists and his influence began to decline.
