Father James Coyle: Martyr of Duty
0:00
Father James Coyle was a Knight of Columbus, the pastor of St. Paul’s Church in Birmingham, AL, and the face of Catholicism in the city in the early 1900s. When the beloved priest celebrated the wedding Mass of a mixed-race couple, the father of the bride, who was also a member of the Ku Klux Klan, confronted Father Coyle and shot him in the head. The shock of such a brazen act of violence, the ensuing trial and the unjust verdict it produced would become one of the biggest news stories in the United States in its day.
