Rock Island, Ill, July 22.-Editor
The Argus; In The Argus of July IT
G. H. Wilson, supreme master member
of the inner circle, the Society of Pro-
gressive Modern Dance Teachers, crit
icised the Catholic church for her de-
cree which forbids all dancing at
church entertainments. Like all crit
les of the church, he did not read the
decree. but received his information
from some newspaper and concluded
that the church condemns dancing. He
says the decree is an implied COndem-
nation of all dancing. This is not so,
although the tango and all immoral
dances are placed under the ban. The
decree is based on the decree of the
third plenary council of Baltimore,
which directs priests to remove en-
tirely that abuse in which entertain
ments and balls are held for the pur-
pose of promoting pious objects.
What is this abuse? To know what
is meant by abuse a little information
on church revenue must be under
stood. The church could preach the
gospel to her people, sitting on board
fences, but this not being in harmony
with tradition and the divine plan, she
builds churches with comfortable
seats. 1t requires money to build
churches, schools and hospitals. Con-
Sequently peWS are rented. This is
her ordinary source of revenue-pew
rents, Christmas and Easter cOllec-
tiOns. The financial possibilities
rest on the clergy. All priests are not
good collectors. Therefore occasion
ally some priests have allowed novel
ties, such as dancing, to raise money
to meet their financial obligations.
The decree of March 81 is directed
not against dancing in general, but
against dancing at church entertain
ments. which were given generally to
produce revenue. Catholics will have
perfect liberty to dance and freedom of
action IN all things, these actions to be
controlled by Christian standards.
