>102 years ago today Fr James Coyle of Roscommon was sent to Birmingham Alabama to serve the growing Roman Catholic community. Within 9 months he was shot by the KKK. Coyle then had sectarian slurs carved into his body with a knife. After this his body was hanged in public and burned
>The klansman who led the lynching was the local Methodist minister E.R. Stephenson who was angered to discover Coyle had converted his daughter to Catholicism and presided over her marriage to a mixed race Hispanic man
>At the trial the lawyer defending the Klansmen, Hugo Black (a future supreme court judge and the grand dragon of Alabama) noted that Stephenson and other defendants were not guilty by reason of insanity. The defence was truly unique due to it's ridiculous nature. Firstly he noted that Stephenson was driven to insanity because 'the Mick warped his daughter's mind and made her a race mixing papist' Secondly he argued the other KKK men were driven to insanity by the smell of incense from the priest's clothes. Black also noted that Catholics are dangerous since they held dual loyalties and were cannibals. Unsurprisingly the all WASP jury acquitted the defendants
>After the trial Catholic homes in Birmingham were burned and Catholic businesses looted. Over two years the Catholic population of Birmingham halved
>Black a lifelong member of the democrats joined the GOP in 1960 following JFK's nomination. In his statement announcing the move he said the primary reason was he did not want to be in the party of a man 'who took orders from a nigger loving and kike loving transvestite in Italy'
