A fascinating story about the murder of a heroic priest. Margaret Sanger spoke at Klan rallies & the KKK loved her. But the left will never have to disavow her nor tear down her monuments.

Hugo Black’ Klan affiliation and anti-Catholic bigotry also factored into his historic ‘wall of separation’ of chuch and state ruling at SCOTUS.

Sanger and the Klan were two peas in the same dysfunctional pod, yet I believe Sanger was much worse than the Klan was, because her evil indirectly caused the infanticide of untold millions of black children. Defund PP & MAGA!

I wonder if Fr. Coyle's murder was the inspiration for the horrific scene in the book (and later the movie) "The Cardinal" by Henry Morton Robinson. If I recall correctly, Klansman beat and whip two Catholic priests one of whom was black.
