Father James Coyle was a brave Catholic priest murdered by the KKK. The heathen Klansman who murdered him ended up being declared innocent by a jury, which was made up of mostly KKK members.
The lawyer who defended the murderous Klansman, Hugo Black, was also a Klansmen. It was Black who engineered the jury to include KKK members. Throughout the trial, Black and the KKK members used a variety of hand signals and codes to secretly communicate. Black attempted to discredit witnesses to the shooting, by going into their face and asking "Your Catholic, aren't you?"
This is the same Hugo Black who later went on to become the Chief justice of the US Supreme Court. It was during this time that the court outlawed school prayer in the Engel vs. Vitale case. Steven Engel (backed by atheistic and liberal Jewish groups) was a wimp who couldn't handle the fact that there was voluntary prayer in schools and thus went crying to the USSC. Black himself was the strongest supporter of outlawing school prayer. Many scholars, such as Daniel L. Dreisbach of American University, believe that Black supported outlawing school prayer based on his rampant anti-Catholicism, as shown by his defense of Coyles murderers. In the end the court outlawed school prayer.
I think it is appalling that a heathen and klansman like Hugo Black was put in the Supreme Court. The Engel vs. Vitale case was a travesty, the result being influenced by a blatantly white supremacist and anti-Catholic wretch like Black.
I think for Father Coyle's sake we should fight to bring back prayer to schools. It would be a fitting honor to this martyr and a just punishment (in addition to the divine one he is likely recieving) to the evil Hugo Black.
