Father Coughlin Ends Era as Shrine Pastor
Royal Oak Michigan AP retired priest Charles E. Coughlin, 74, announcing retirement from the Shrine of the Little Flower parish after decades as a controversial figure. He reflected on a desire to enjoy time with children and simple pleasures, while noting plans to celebrate 50 years in the priesthood next month. He built a vast following with radio sermons in the 1930s and sided with both New Deal support and isolationist views, later clashing with President Roosevelt and Archbishop Mooney leading to silencing in 1942 and the end of his radio program in 1940. His parish church stands funded by 1930s contributions, and he has since spoken mainly to endorse Goldwater in 1964 and critique Johnson’s Great Society.
