From Father Coughlin's critics the cry continues: Why doesn't the Catholic Church crack down on him? The answer is obvious.

...France's most famed Protestant-tall, white-haired, meticulous Rev. Marc Boegner, 58, under whose leadership 1,000,000 French Protestants, representing all the big churches save the Lutheran (in Alsace) and the Baptist, were reunited last year after a century of schism.

A "Los von Rom" ("Free from Rome") movement arose there 40-odd years ago. The Old Catholic Church, result of a schism in 1870 over papal infallibility, counts 400,000 European adherents.
