Hays Code: When the Catholic Church censored Hollywood for over 30 years

[@susanb2015]

In 1968 they did not need to put nudity and bad language in movies.

Governmental censorship vs Church censorship. I don’t see a difference except that with government censorship you can take it to court.

And how has that shaken out?

[@shuttittuppitt9355]

@Terry Look out movies today. How do you THINK that turned out? No matter WHO did the censoring, there is NO disputing that they DID do so. Also, their evil, SELF APPOINTED power did NOT affect any movies from any OTHER countries, because only America was so hell bent on desperately TRYING to turn itself into a FASCIST THEOCRACY where NOBODY had ANY rights at all! They SUCCEEDED at that for a while, but later, they were dethroned because the SCOTUS got a backbone & some commen sense, & realized that movies/TV shows/songs/video games are NOT the all powerful brain washers that some people lyingly claim that they are.

Unfair to blame it on the entire Catholic church.

You must be a LIBERAL.
