Detroit Church Confronts Founder Father Coughlin's Antisemitic Legacy

Shrine of the Little Flower updates its history to acknowledge and educate about Coughlin's antisemitism.

The church now features a new plaque and website content detailing Coughlin's antisemitic actions and rhetoric.
Local Jewish leaders collaborated with the church to ensure accurate representation of Coughlin's hateful legacy.
The updates include a QR code linking to a detailed page about Coughlin's propagation of antisemitic conspiracy theories.
This change follows years of advocacy by Detroit's Jewish community for better acknowledgment of the church's history.
The church aims to focus on a message of reconciliation and education moving forward.
