...seminude show girls in Las Vegas. I don't think a Roman Catholic bishop has a right to tell night club owners to "dress" their performers. In France (nearly 90% Catholic), seminude show girls have been parading in nightclubs for umpteen years; French bishops don't insist on them covering...
...each American citizen being a full citizen . . . The basic question-all there really is in the case-is whether or not we stand as a Government of the U.S. in all its power and strength as well as its consideration of the difficulties and problems that are real . . .

They want us to concede as though we proposed it, to submit as we would to our own self-imposed directives. What are we to do? Everyone well realizes that little by little, outward resistance will be weakened, that eventually, only one's innermost, secret adherence to faith will be possible...
