Mr. Chief Executive: A Henry Ford Timeline

And catholics will be treated much kinder simply due to their size in America, Basically forced conversion and such, also the denunciation of the pope.

Would you run that by me again? Equating forced conversion with kinder treatment? Are you saying that Ford will attempt to force Catholics to become Protestants? Because if so, he'll find he has a lot of enemies, including some guys in ad hoc organizations in places like Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia who were sufficiently tough that they made Harry Bennett and his boys look like a kindergarten class. Guys who made money flouting the 18th Amendment and who tended to have surnames that ended in vowels...that, come to think of it, could be particularly interesting: the Mob vs. Henry Ford...

He doesn't necessarily state his intentions for catholics until he gets into power as president. However he does as Governor decrease the size of catholic organizations

Exactly how, without running afoul of the First Amendment? That sort of action seems to run rather close to the Constitutional proscription of any law respecting an established religion--or I could see one or more astute lawyers (say, Elihu Root) making a very strong case that way. He might try as governor but it wouldn't take long before such a case got before the US Supreme Court. When that happens, Chief Justice Taft will listen to the arguments fairly and then make damn sure to put a stop to Ford's nonsense. Sorry; not buying this without a lot of 'splainin'.
 
Story
Story Ford Declared his candidacy for The Governor of Michigan in 1930. He campaigned on a pro-business attitude and criticism of the more interventionist Hoover Administration. He narrowly won the nomination. He later remarked: It was the hardest fought campaign in my life. He viciously attacked the Republicans, saying the reps had ruined and failed Michigan. The violent approach worked. He was elected to the Mansion with 54% of votes.

Story
Story Ford's Tenure as Governor would practice economic growth for Michigan, as tax cuts on a massive scale led to a short spike in business, many jobs would be rapidly Recovered in the region. especially with small business. many social programs, however, would be slashed. He would then take his next target. Jews and Catholics...luckily for ford, he had a staff willing to do his dirty work. With recent documents released by the Gore Administration and the Governors office in the late 90s. Ford worked to connect Catholic organizations to the mafia via bribing witnesses and fabricating documents. Many churches, Catholic charities and more were closed for investigation but never reopened
