That’s a shame, clearly codewords for anti-Semitism, which is what landed Fr. Coughlin in trouble(rightfully so). The Church has always had a strange issue with money-making and money men.

I used to work on Wall Street and would pop into the little church, Our Lady of Victory on Pine Street for Mass from time to time. Suffice it to say, we got sermons against greed, but never an anti-Semitic remark. No one would have stood for it. Avaritia facit bardus (Greed makes us stupid).

I thought this to be more anti-capitalist than anti-Semitic.
