Over the past few months, people who like to observe how the main stream medias operate, could not avoid noticing, a renewed offensive on everything and anything Catholic.
I will grant you that it is not done in the old fashioned crude way of the late 19th or early 20th century, which led to signs at the entrance of public bars reading ugly signs like
" no Micks, no Spics, no Dagos"
For those too young to remember these dark days, or those who have been brainwashed otherwise by their marxist professors, it means: "no Irish, no Mexicans, no Italians".
These were true racial slurs that were quite common all the way to the late 70s and early 80s.
It also meant in a devious way no Catholics. Because it was widely considered, that people hailing from these countries were all Papists.
If one traveled throughout the midwest, the southwest, or the deep south , these sentiments were quite common.
In fact the hate group of reference for all SJW today: the KKK
openly hated three major groups:
"Negros, Catholics and Jews"
Being Catholic in some quarters of the country was very dangerous.
Father Coyle was one of many example of that hate, as he was murdered
in Birmingham Alabama by a Southern Methodist Minister and Klansman.
The murderer was defended by five lawyers, four of them Klansmen, The seating judge was also a Klansman. The lead attorney Hugo Black was to become a Supreme court Justice and a leading Klansman.
The murderer was acquitted for reasons of isanity.
Catholics in Alabama but also in other states were often targeted by the KKK until late in the 50s.
It is not until 2012 that Bishop Willimon of the Southern Methodist Church presided over a service of reconciliation and forgiveness.
While in these States the opposition to the Catholic Church was mainly the fact of democrats, and their officials. In the northern and eastern states, it was the republicans who opposed the Church.
The main reason being, that in these areas the democrats needing votes embraced the newly arrived Irish, German, Poles and Italians, in order to get elected to office.
Republicans were especially virulent against the first Catholic candidate to the US presidency:
in 1928 Al Smith became the first Catholic to be nominated for President by a major party.
His nomination became a main focal point for Lutheran and Southern Baptist ministers. All Fundamentalist churches were against him.
Ultimately Republican Edgar Hoover( a Quaker) was elected.
All throughout these years, the medias (written and radio) were quite rabid on these issues, as they were controlled by mostly WASP interests.
