by Brother Hermenegild Tosf (Editor), Father Coughlin Friends (Author)
Obviously, it is an impossible task to answer every adverse critic of Father Coughlin. Consequently, this book will concern itself, chiefly, with major critics from whom, as from a fountainhead, the minor rivulets of criticism flowed through the channels of the press, radio and public meetings. This book will deal with those matters which relate directly to the main charges registered against Father Coughlin-charges relative to his being a pro-Nazi, an anti-Semite, a falsifier of documents, etc. Every fair-minded reader, despite his personal like or dislike for Father Coughlin, is assured that the purpose of this book is not to spread anti-Semitism. Defining anti-Semitism as a hatred for Jews simply because they are Jews, let it be recorded that this abominable vice at no time was advocated, but at all times was deprecated by Father Coughlin despite gratuitous assertions and publicity to the contrary. The documents employed in the main body of this book have been examined carefully. The object in writing An Answer to Pather Coughlin's Critics will be achieved if fair-minded persons will be given an opportunity to judge for themselves whether or not the attack made against him since November 20, 1938, particularly by the General Jewish Council and the Jewish People's Committee, was founded on reliable facts.
