Not much is written about Catholic clergy who have, throughout the centuries, repeatedly warned about the global exploitation of Jewish bankers.
Canadian-American priest Father Charles E. Coughlin, nicknamed ‘the radio priest’, gained 30 million listeners on his American radio show ‘Golden Hour of The Little Flower’in which he spoke out against the control of many of the world’s richest financial elites.
“The courageous Christians of America will not be intimidated by name calling such as ‘anti-semitic’ or by threats of investigation or by a prejudice press,” affirmed Fr Charles, whose words were published on YouTube in a documentary that labels him as a fame-thirsty demagogue who “took advantage of the Great Depression” which has been removed from YouTube.
Despite condemning hatred in his writings and sermons, he has been faced with attempts by people to discredit him such as Donald Warren in his 1996 book ‘The Rise and Fall of the Father of Hate Radio: Economics, Catholic Church, Bankers’.
Fr Coughlin warned about Zionism as something much more than the creation of the state of Israel, but rather a project of global domination.
He also spoke out against the Federal Reserve Bank underscoring “they believe that the Federal Reserve Bank has the right to coin and regulate the value of money. They’re not even Americans, these so-called Democrats and Republicans.”
“I dared you and challenged you to organise so that the people if not the president would drive the money changers from the temple and you did it,” he stated in one of his broadcasts. “We are Christian in so far as we believe in Christ’s principle of ‘love your neighbour as yourself’ and with that principle I challenge every Jew in this nation to tell me that he does not believe in it.”
Saint Maximilian Kolbe who died in Auschwitz on Aug. 14, 1941, was a Franciscan who knew much about this topic.
Although most of his 1,006 letters and 396 other writings including newspaper and magazine articles and spiritual conferences are overwhelmingly spiritual and apostolic with some secular concerns, 31 refer to Jews and Judaism.
The priest spoke about the Zionist-Jewish-Masonic collaboration quoting the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, a work which he believed were authentic. He spoke of the “Jewish-Masonic conspiracy,” the “cruel clique of Jews,” and “their work (the Talmud) which breathes hatred against Christ and the Christians.”
The Franciscan established a hospital and helped shelter as many as 2,000 Jews in his monastery during the Nazi regime. But the State of Israel has never granted him the honorific title of ‘Righteous Among the Nations’given to non-Jews who risked their lives during the Holocaust to save Jews, precisely because in his publications he criticised the attempt of Jewish global domination.
Father John Creagh, was an Irish Redemporist priest from Limerick who work as a missionary in Australia from 1916-1922.
Online websites that cover his speeches in Ireland warning about Zionism accuse him of antisemitism. He spoke about how the Jews gained their fortune through usury and cheating and accused them of corroborating with Freemasons, as well as backing the legal changes that secularised education in France.
There have also been anti-semitic outcries from Jewish groups after Cardinal August Hlond’s beatification process began requesting its halt.
Cardinal August Hlond
In May 2018, the Vatican declared that the cardinal had lived with heroic virtues and declared him venerable – an assessment based in part on his defense of Jews.
Father Boguslaw Koziol, vice postulator for the cause of the cardinal – who headed the Polish Church from 1926 until his death in 1948 – said that the criticism was unfounded.
The real problem lied in a pastoral letter that the cardinal wrote in 1936, which read “It is a fact that the Jews are fighting against the Catholic Church, persisting in free thinking, and are the vanguard of godlessness, Bolshevism and subversion.” But the Pole also prohibited attacks on Jews.
A series of fourth century homilies by Saint John Chrysostom known as ‘Adversus Judaeos’ in which he reiterated that the Jews crucified Jesus, that they committed deicide and that they continued to rejoice in Jesus’ death. He compared the synagogue to a pagan temple, representing it as a source of vices and heresies. The saint also stated that demons dwell in the synagogue and also in the souls of the Jews.
Saint Hildegard of Bingen was a German abbess who wrote media and painted to try and capture the visions she had of the reign of the Antichrist and the Last Judgment. It is believed that the saint, who lived from 1098-1179, also advised about the Jews in her correspondence with Frederick Barbarossa.
