text: So what ? Let me tell you a little illustrative history. 1938, three European countries are ruled by fascist dictatorships: Germany, Italy and Spain. Two of those are majority Catholic countries - one the seat of the Vatican. Meanwhile in America the popular opinion on the rise of these dictatorships are still quite split. Prominent businessmen like Henry Ford and Walt Disney want America to form an alliance with the German Nazis. And the America First group (a Nazi organization much like the Ossewabrandwag) is at the height of it's power - one violent rally in New York had over 25000 attendees. Enter Father Charles Coughlin, an Irish-Catholic priest famous for his incendiary radio show. Very much the Trump of his time. Coughlin was pro-Nazi and became America First's most powerful media voice. In one broadcast he declared "Democracy has failed, the only choices are fascism or communism - so as a Christian, I choose fascism".
