Paul Beecher Blanshard (August 27, 1892 - January 27, 1980) was a famous anti-Catholic bigot.[1] His works have been referred to as those of a "professional" bigot differentiating them from less literary, less sophisticated efforts such as those of Jack Chick. Blanshard's most notorious work is American Freedom and Catholic Power (1949). Other works of anti-Catholic bigotry include The Irish and Catholic Power (1953) and Kennedy presidency-obsessed work The Future of Catholic Power (1961). [2]
Blanshard was editor for The Nation and special counsel and spokesman for Americans United for Separation of Church and State.[3] He was also a member of the National Council for the League for Industrial Democracy, for the Rochester, New York area.[4]
Early Life
Paul and his twin brother Brand Blanshard[5] were born in Fredericksburg, Ohio, on August 27th, 1892.[6]
He graduated from the University of Michigan in 1914.[6]
Christian Socialism
While at university, he wrote about joining the ministry. Blanshard was a Christian socialist, but found himself more inclined toward the socialism and less toward the Christianity.
"During those college years I arrived at two decisions about myself. I would be a socialist and I would enter the Christian ministry. In retrospect, the first decision seems entirely natural, but the second decision was the worst blunder of my life."[7]
