The Commonweal, Catholic magazine, charged today that “Father Coughlin, the Brooklyn Tablet (Catholic newspaper friendly to Coughlin) Social Justice and their many abettors and sympathizers must bear the direct responsibility for the plight” of the 17 arrested Christian Frontists. The paper said “Catholics are largely responsible and we shall continue to be responsible for the creation of other groups of hypnotized men, who may carry out their scheming with more tragic results, until we all recognize and nullify the powerful propaganda which directly creates them.”
