The Legion of Decency |
The garbage that comes out of Hollywood today is a travesty . Is it any
wonder why youth have such distorted values? Were the film industry to
encounter a modern day "Legion of Decency", you can bet that there
would be more movies the entire family could enjoy together. Bring
morality back to the cinema.
http://lphrc.org/rmk/Cath/legion.html
A Brief History of the Legion of Decency
The Legion of Decency was formed in 1934 to combat immoral movies.
People took a pledge, in church, against bad movies. They pledged not
only never to go to any morally objectionable movie, but never even to
go to any movie theater that had ever shown a morally objectionable
film!
This was very effective in discouraging Hollywood from making movies
which would earn the disapproval of the Legion of Decency. And the
Legion of Decency's ratings were very strict, much more strict than the
modern Catholic Bishops' movie rating system (which has been sadly
ineffective in influencing the making of movies).
Catholics used to be united, strong and strict, and then they were a
powerful force to be reckoned with by the movie industry!
Around the end of the 1950's, things began to change. The emphasis was
taken off condemning bad movies, and a deliberate effort was made to
make The Legion of Decency more `positive'. The pledge gradually faded
out of use, until it was finally completely forgotten.
By 1975, the Legion of Decency had ceased to exist. It was replaced by
the Bishops' new Catholic rating system. That ended the Church's
influence on the movie industry. Movie standards continue to drop.

No, I am on the same account, I change the return address to add a little

Why do I get the feeling that these Legion Of Decency members have
bigger than average porn collections hidden in their respectable
Christion homes? I'm sure their copies of "Drilling Miss Daisy", and
"From Rear To Eternity" are strictly for informational purposes only.
