From a current novel: Bear
in mind. please, that we are not
exactly CRETINOUS." This is a
strange word indeed. Actually it
is a corruption of the word
Christian (Chretien), though to-
day, of course. it's meaning is
"a congenital idiot"
It came about thus: During
the early days of Christianity,
when Christians were so cruelty
prosecuted, many of them were
forced to hide in the hills and
caves. Because of lack Of food,
clothing and proper shelter,
many of them became not only
uniformed, but demented. The
word Christian became Synony-
nous with idiot" Pronuncia-

tinous: KREE-ti-nuSs.

civil authorities are doing no
wrong if they exercise some form
of censorship over motion pictures
before they are presented to the
public. For civil authorities are
bound to have some concern for
the spiritual and moral welfare of
the citizens as well as for the
physical well-being.
No one can reasonably object
when the state demands chemical
test of patent medicine before
it is put on the market, in order
to find out If it is beneficial or
harmful 20 the physical welfare OF
those who will make use of it. Why
then should any objection be rails
ed when civil authorities require
that motion picture films be exam
ined before they are made a~ail-
able to fire public, in oroer to give
assurance that they contain moth
ing harmful to the morality of the
audiences that will view them?
To claim that the authorities
of the state have no right TO ban
a motion picture before IL is put
on the screen is as absurd as to
claim that a patent medicine
should not be forbidden Until II
has killed someone.
OF course, those empowered to
exercise legal censorship may

Condemned Films
Shown In France
Despite Protests

PARIS - CNC) - Movie censor
ship is a problem in France too.
During recent weeks it has become
a matter of considerable contro-
versy in the press, while a-de Gaul-
list member of the National Assem-
bly, has stated that he is going TO
question the government on the
immortality of certain movies and
movie advertisements.
Matters were brought to a head
by the showing of new film, lie
Bic en- Herbe," which was con-
demned by Bishop Francois Picaud
of Bayeux. Catholics in a number
of French cities protested against
its showing and in Caen, Norman
dy, asked the mayor to ban it. The
mayor said that While he person
ally disapproved of the film, he
did not have the right TO forbid its
presentation.

To avoid ambiguity, it should
be stated that by censorship is
meant an official judgment passed
on a play, a book, a film, etc.
before it is made available to the
public. While the word censorship
is popularity interpreted as an un-
favorable judgment, in its correct
sense it refers TO an investigation
that may result in approval or in
condemnation.
The decision of the Supreme
Court did not declare the censor
ship of motion pictures in itself
opposed to our Constitution. II was
concerned with particular cases,
and was based mainly on the vague
ness of such terms as immoral
and tending a promote crime"
Two members of fhe CoUrf,
Justices Douglas and Black, ex-
pressed the view that all official
judgment of the morality of mo-
tion pictures prior TO their show
ing is unconstitutional. but fhs
others did not commit themssi-
YES on this opinion.
Indeed, in a hearing previous to
the decision of the court, Justice
Jackson expressed alarm over what
would happen if the State govern
ment had no control over the show
ing of movies, and described the
possible case of a man who would
set up a movie house opposite a
high school and present a film on
how to commit homemade abor-
tions'-and then when civil action
is taken would pay his fine and
go back and start in again with
benefit of advertising"
More recently Attorney General
William O'Neill of Ohio stated that
the Supreme-Court decision against
particular films does not render
the states censorship law uncon-
stltutional nor prohlDI nn1lteu
| licensing system for films.
Yet. even after this statement
by the Attorney General the CEN
sorship board Of Ohio he's sp-
proved five films hitherto ban
ned in fhsi State and expects 10
review up TO so more Of same kind
of films. Beyond doubt the SUI
pretne Court decision has eeea-
stoned This change in attitude.
Since the legal statute of the
censorship of motion pictures is
now so uncertain, We have reason
to believe there will be further de-
cisions of our Supreme Court on
this matter in the near future.

ing pictures to be banned. But
this same danger exists in the use
of every form of authority. The
possibility Of abuse does not ex-
clude the right and the need of
proper c0ereive power, We must
leave il to the prudent judgment of
our elected officials to adopt a
reasonable and moderate course.
Beyond doubt there are differ
ent views among our people as to
what constitutes an immoral"
film, and it is to be hoped that
the recent decision of the Supreme
Court will induce state censorship
boards TO difine this term more
exactly. At any rate, there are GER
tain standards that all sensible
and decent persons accept, and it
is no violation of our cherished
American liberty to utilize these
standards In Judging whether or
not film should be allowed on
the screen.
Some Always Protest
Some individuals may protest
that censorship, even in a very
limited degree, is an infringement
on their freedom; but there are
some who will object to any re-
strictiye measure. The fact that
some individuals protest against
the law forbidding the carrying of
concealed weapons is surely no
proof that this law violates per-
Sonal liberty.
Catholics particularly should
have no objection to the reason.
able censorship of motion pictures.
For the Catholic Church itself has
policy of censorship with respect
to books on religious subjects by
Catholics. Before publication these
words must be submitted to cen
sor appointed by the bishop, and
they may be published only when
approval is given. The Church
knows that this is an effective way
of protecting its members from
writings that may present views
opposed to faith or morals.
In respect to motion pictures We
have the Legion of Decency which
though not official in the strict
sense, furnishes Catholics with
reasonable guidance in regard to
the moral aspects of current films.
II is 70 be hoped that future de-
decisions of the Supreme Court
will not open the way to films
that will foster the spirit of IL
eentiousness and sensUslity that
is already prevalent 10 en- ap-
pallins extend among the young
folks of our land.
The statistics issued by the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation con-
cerning the spread of immortality
in the United States should serve
as an emphatic warning that If
anything. more, rather than less,

of influencing peoples minds and

Scientist Asks Catholic
Action On Ii Weapons

II is tragedy that it was ever
used against . defenseless people"
he declared.
With the development Of the r.
bomb BY which whole cities and
masses Of peoples can be wiped
out in a single stroke, Catholics
throughout the world should cam
psign through the United Nations
for the abolishment Of such wesp-
ons. DIR. Kelley said.
When weapons get to the
stage where innocent people are
killed merely by their resting, il
is time men of ell races and
ereeds sat down and een4era-
plated what they are doing to
each other" he declared.
He was referring to the Japanese
fishermen killed in the gigantic
blast of the H-bomb IN the Pacific
islands. His lecture was only
hours old when the announcement
of the second big test Of the II
bomb was made.
DR.. Kelley opposed arguments
which purpose to show split be-
tween religion and science.
Many scientists refuse TO
learn anything about religion,
ard vice verse" Or. Kelley de-
elsrsd. The result is that during
arguments one group often does
not know what the other side is
talking aboUt.
He cited as some of the seem
ing conflict between religion and
science:
/. Creation of the world: @Sci-
ence is right when it says the world
is five billion years old, even
though Biblical Interpretation would
place the figure at only 1000
years, DR.. Kelley said. The Catho-
lie Church teaches that the Bible
is not to be used for chronology.
The Bibles figure is but term of
speaking and it is mistsking the
function and intent oil the Bible to
assume il has perfect chronology.

2. Creation of things. The Bible
indicates the green and growing
things were created before the
sun" Dr.. Kelly said, but science
teaches that these things depend
on the sun for their existence
Again, said DR. Kelley, the Bible
is not concerned with the technical
details. In 1909 Biblical Commis-
sion decided Moses knew nothing
of plant chemistry and so paid no
attention 10 the order Of things, he
recalled.
