About the Author: William Charles Kernan (1900–??) was ordained a deacon in the Episcopal Church in 1926. After several years of ministerial work, he became pastor of St. James the Lesser in Scarsdale, N.Y. In 1938, he grew so upset with Father Charles Coughlin's radio sermons criticizing Jews that he decided to write a response to them. In 1952 Kernan renounced his Episcopalian ministry of 26 years and sought admission to the Roman Catholic Church, believing it to be the one true Christian church.
