Burton Levy, a Michigan Civil
official, called
Fr. Charles E. Coughlin the "most
vitriolic hatemonger" in this cen-
tury at a session Thursday of 500
South Oakland County Catholics
participating in Project Commit-
ment. The session took place at
the Shrine of the Little Flower
High School in Royal Oak, which
was founded by the now-retired
Father Coughlin.
Levy, who received a standing
ovation, said later that he has
been getting obscene phone calls
about every 30 minutes.
Levy stated, that, "It's a factual
statement and I'm not sorry I
said it."
