Father '''Charles Edward Coughlin''' (1891-1979), the 'Radio Priest', was a [[Roman Catholic]] priest who made [[anti-semitic]] radio broadcasts during the 1930s and early 40s.

Coughlin was born in Hamilton, [[Ontario]], and was ordained in 1916. In 1923 he moved to [[Detroit]] and from 1926 began broadcasting weekly radio sermons. In the early 1930s he enthusiastically endorsed President Roosevelt and the [[New Deal]], but the tenor of his talks, as the sermons had become, changed to attacks on [[Wall Street]], international finance, and the New Deal itself. As Coughlin was attracting audiences in the tens of millions, Roosevelt sent intermediaries including [[Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.]] to try and quieten the priest, to no avail.
