Shrine of the Silver Dollar By John L. Spivak [1940]. ONCE more John L. Spivak lives up to his reputation as one of America's ablest reporters, this time in revealing a man, Father Charles Coughlin, whom many believe to be unworthy of the cloth he wears. Spivak never depends on hearsay. He presents documents which tell their own story, and were it not for the documents included in this book the story itself would be unbelievable. As it stands, the volume is probably the most severe condemnation made of a public figure in our time. Father Coughlin addresses a vast audience over the air, through the press and in publications which he owns or controls. Spivak charges him with almost every practice of which the American public would disapprove and proceeds to lay the proof of his charges before this public. The nature and extent of Spivak's indictment make it inevitable that the agitation surrounding the radio priest will be brought to a head and official action of some sort taken.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the controversial world of Father Charles E. Coughlin, a charismatic radio priest who wielded immense influence over millions of Americans in the 1930s. The author meticulously exposes Coughlin's complex financial network, revealing how he used his religious platform to amass personal wealth. Through a detailed investigation, the book unveils the intricate web of corporations and organizations Coughlin established, including the Radio League of the Little Flower and the Social Justice Publishing Company, exposing how he collected vast sums of money from his followers under the guise of supporting his ministry. The author's exploration of Coughlin's actions within the context of the Depression era paints a striking picture of a man who exploited a vulnerable population for his own financial gain, blurring the lines between religion, politics, and personal profit. This book offers a compelling historical analysis, unmasking the true nature of Coughlin's operation and offering insights into the ethical complexities of a man who commanded a loyal following while engaging in questionable business practices.
