I can't wait until the movies ur's back. That's adultery if I
adoDt this idea of mittine I ever saw it.
badges on their shows saying
"Recommended for Adults" or
"Recommended for Family,"
so a decent man will know
where to go.
It's a noble idea. Imagine
being able to call a theater
and asking, "F a m i 1 y or
Adults?"
A man wouldn't have to
put his shoes on and get the
car out of the garage and
drive all the way to the mov
ies only to find out that what,
he thought might be an enter
tainment for the kids was an
adult movie.
Even worse, supposing he
took his kids to a movie
which he thought was adult,
so they could learn something,
and it turned out to be for
the family. That way the kids
don't learn anything, his wife
doesn't learn anything, he's
bored and they might as well
have stayed at home watching
an adult western, where no
body learns anything, good
or bad, but at least you can
turn the thing off and go out
to a recommended family
movie.
This new system they're
talking about probably would
have saved me a lot of mis
takes. I never would have taken
any children of mine to see
that picture "Knights of the
Round Table," where this
knight Lancelot is in love
with the queen, Guinevere,
behind the good King Arth-
I I wouldn't even have driven
them around the block to a
movie house that was show
ing "Robin Hood and His
Merry Men," or whatever
they called it. This Techni
colored essay in the social
theory Hint injustice may be
rectified by lawlessness is
okay for adults, but what
would the children think?
A simple announcement
that these films were recom
mended for adults only would
have kept my children at
home, and me as well.
I suppose some pictures
might be hard to classify, such
as "Spartacus," which is
about the war of the slaves
against the Romans.
We took our children to see
it on the grounds that it was
about history and the Roman
Empire, which is a good thing,
especially if they are ever go
ing to study Latin.
It was perfectly okay for a
while. Nothing but greed, be
trayal, duplicity, opulence and
other aspects of the Roman
scene, but then this love af
fair came along between the
male slave and the female
slave and I began to wonder
if it was anything for chil
dren to see. '
There was an implication
I'm not saying anything, un
derstand that Spartacus, the
leader of the slaves, was liv
ing together with Jean Sim
mons as man and wife with
out benefit of clergy. This
might be overlooked on the
grounds that they didn't hap
pen to have a clergyman in
their outfit, most of them be
ing behind the Roman walls.
But then this Joan Sim
mons had to take a swim in a
pool without any clothes on.
as fur as I could see.
Well, that certainly is for
adults only.
So I'll be glad enough to
have this advice in advance.
I've been thinking of taking
the family to "Swiss Family
Robinson," but I think I'll
wait.
I want to be sure there's no
suggestion in it of where the
Robinson kids came from.

Message
By
JAMES FRANCIS
CARDINAL McINTYRE
Archbishop of Los Angeles
(Written for UPI)
The philosophy of material-
Ism has been spreading widely
in the areas of education, and
of literature, and of science.
Gradually the consequent de
parture from the principles of
the natural law and from the
tenets of the revealed law has
lessened the respect due to
divine and human authority.
The result is confusion in
thought and confusion in ac
tion. This confusion is neces
sarily the consequence of such
departure. The standard of
action that observes the dif
ference between right and
wrong is not respected. Since
the substitutes are not per
manent, but vacillating and
frustrating, they do not con
stitute tradition or custom or
recognition of law.
Day to Day Disposition
The theory that moral and
spiritual values, when applied
in human behavior, exalt and
refine life and bring it into
accord with the standards of
conduct that are approved in
our democratic culture" Is an
example of the departure
from divine law and the sub
stitution of day to day dis
position.
The opposite of materialism
is commemorated in the Feast
of the Resurrection. Almighty
God manifests His supreme
power over life and death
when He rises triumphantly
froi" the dead, conquering
heaven and earth and rcleas
mg the bonds of hell by His
rcssurcction and ascension
into heaven.
His resurrection Is a su
preme testimony and the most
convincing confirmation that
the order of nature Is the work
of divinity. The wonders of
the world arc contained with
in the order of nature. Let it
be remembered that God is
the author of nature, and as
the creator of nature. God is
empowered to prove His di
vlnity as He suspends His
law in the resurrection, in
testimony of Ilia divinity.
