Coughlinism

Coughlinism refers to the coaching philosophy and leadership style of Father Charles Coughlin, a Catholic priest and popular radio broadcaster in the 1930s and 1940s. It emphasizes strong, charismatic leadership combined with persuasive communication to inspire loyalty and action. His approach often involved emotional appeals, moral authority, and a focus on social justice issues, sometimes leading to controversial or divisive opinions. In a broader sense, Coughlinism highlights how influential figures can shape public opinion and mobilize communities through compelling rhetoric and personality-driven leadership.
