1937.02.4. Primer On Communism Vs Christianity

This is a transcript of a radio show featuring Father Charles E. Coughlin, a controversial Catholic priest and political commentator from the 1930s. The discussion covers a wide range of topics, including:

1. Merits and criticisms of communism versus Christianity, particularly relating to their impact on Russia/the Soviet Union before and after the 1917 revolution.

2. Defending Christianity's historical role in promoting various forms of liberty (physical, intellectual, political) and establishing universities, challenging tyranny, etc. over many centuries leading up to modern times.

3. Industrial/labor rights movement and Father Coughlin's view that ensuring economic liberty/a living annual wage requires not just reforming industry, but also reforming the financial system and monetary policy.

4. Coughlin sharply criticizes FDR's plan to expand and pack the Supreme Court, warning that it threatens the system of checks and balances and could lead to dictatorship. He argues for preserving the Constitution and American democracy.

The transcript captures Father Coughlin's fiery oratorical style as he presents his perspectives blending Catholic social teachings, economic populism, anti-communism, and constitutional conservatism. It reflects the heated political debates of the Great Depression era.
