GOD IN THE OFFICE 
Address delivered on June 4, 1950 

Dear Friends: 

Today I am beginning a series 
of talks entitled "God on Week-
days." I have chosen this title 
because I believe that there are 
many persons who exclude from 
their daily occupations all con-
sideration of God and of God's 
law. Some of these are people 
who never give a thought to God 
on any day of the week. But 
others are men and women who 
realize that they serve and obey 
God, and so they go to church 
regularly and devoutly on Sun-
days and regard themselves as 
religious-minded people. Yet, 
apparently it never occurs to 
them that they must serve and 
obey God on weekdays as well as. 
on Sundays. The consequence is 
that they frequently do things 
that are actually opposed to 
God 's commandments in the af-
fairs of everyday life—for ex-
ample, in their business, their 
amusements, their conduct to-
ward the other members of their 
family—yet they never seem to 
be aware that they are keeping 
God out of a large portion of 
their lives. For all practical pur- > 
poses, they are believers on Sun-
days and atheists on weekdays. 

I am speaking particularly to 
people of this type, and I hope 
I shall persuade at least some of 
them to bring God and God's 
law into their everyday life. 
They need to be taught that God 
is concerned with every detail 
of our lives, that everything we 
do should be regulated by His 
commandments. Every thought 
admitted into our mind, every 
word issuing from our lips, 
every action performed with the 
faculties of our body or soul is 
either in accordance with God's 
law or against it. And so, it is 
vitally important that we honest-
ly ask ourselves whether we are 
trying to regulate our everyday 
conduct by the laws of God or, 
whether on the contrary, we 
are frequently doing things that 
are offensive to Him. It is a 
very sad situation when those 
who believe in God give Him 
only a slight tribute of obedience 
and love, when they could and 
should give Him much more. 
They have a bowing acquaint-
ance with Him one day of the 
week, but treat Him as a com-
plete stranger the other six 
days. 

It is my earnest hope, there-



8 GOD ON WEEKDAYS 

fore, that my hearers will be 
sincerely desirous of bringing 
God into their weekday occupa-
tions, and I shall try to point out 
most of the things that should 
be done and some of the things 
that should be avoided in order 
to give God more faithful serv-
ice and more exact obedience in 
the ordinary actions of daily 
life. And I can assure you that 
if you try honestly to serve God 
faithfully day after day in all 
that you do, you will enjoy a 
happiness far greater than any 
happiness in this world. 

Today my subject is "God in 
the Office." I am using the word 
"office" to signify every form of 
business, whether it be com-
merce or industry or farming, 
whether it be performed by a 
clerk or an artisan or a laborer, 
whether it be conducted by one 
individual or by a large firm 
hiring thousands of employees. 
The point I wish to establish is 
this: There are many persons 
today who are disobeying the 
commandments of God in their 
various forms of business, and 
yet seem not to realize it. I am 
not referring primarily to those 
who are guilty of flagrant of-
fences, such as the merchant 
who uses false weights or the 

clerk who steals money from 
the cashdrawer. Everyone knows 
that such actions are wrong, and 
every decent person condemns 
them. I am referring chiefly to 
those who employ methods of 
business which are fairly com-
mon and which many people 
have adopted, apparently with-
out any sense of shame or guilt 
—but which, if you examine 
them honestly, you will find to 
be opposed to the laws of God. 

Take, for example, modern 
advertising. It is the usual cus-
tom for anyone who has some-
thing to sell, whether it be a cake 
of soap or a skyscraper, to ad-
vertise it as the best buy of its 
kind that was ever made. Now, 
actually, many of the claims 
made in some advertising are 
downright falsehoods. I suppose 
most persons are aware of this; 
but the fact remains that many 
other persons are deceived and 
cheated by the fantastic claims 
of some of the advertisements 
they read. A few years ago, the 
chairman of the Federal Trade 
Commission estimated that the 
amount taken annually • through 
fraudulent advertising was more 
than five hundred million dol-
lars, most of it from the sick, 
the poor and the ignorant (L. 
Lyon, "Advertising" in Encyclo-



GOD IN THE OFFICE 9 

pedia of Social Sciences, I, 473). 
Any intelligent person can see 
that those who deliberately make 
false statements in advertising, 
as in any other form of com-
munication, are guilty of lying; 
and if they thus induce people to 
buy products which fail sub-
stantially to measure up to the 
claims of the advertisement, 
they are also guilty of theft. 

Again, one who employs an-
other person to work for him is 
bound to give him a just wage— 
and by a just wage I mean a 
salary sufficient to keep a man 
and his family in decent comfort. 
In recent years there has been a 
great improvement throughout 
our country in this matter, due 
in great measure to the efforts 
of organized labor. But there 
are still many employers who are 
paying their employees much 
less than they should and could. 
Those employers are committing 
sins of avarice and injustice— 
grave sins against the law of 
God. They may boast of their 
honesty and go to church regu-
larly and perhaps make large 
contributions to public causes, 
but actually they are little better 
than the robber who forces his 
victim to give up his money at 
the point of a gun. 

Another principle that is 

often forgotten in modern busi-
ness is that a person who sells a 
commodity has a right only to 
moderate profit. If he demands 
an exorbitant price, even though 
he may be able to force consum-
ers to pay it, he is acting un-
justly. And the case is worse 
when a number of dealers make 
a common agreement to raise 
their prices far above what is 
reasonable. These are the 
people who need to admit God 
into their offices and to learn 
from Him the meaning of His 
commandment: Thou shalt not 
steal. 

Again, it is not an uncommon 
practice in our land for a busi-
ness firm to bribe civil officials in 
order to secure governmental 
patronage. This, too, is a deed 
of injustice, and in most cases 
the taxpayer ultimately foots the 
bill to cover this bribe. Those 
who stoop to this degrading act 
not only fail against justice but 
also foster the spirit of dis-
loyalty in officials who are 
pledged to render honest service 
to their country. It is sad to 
realize that there are such busi-
ness men and such public offi-
cials in our land today, but it is 
still sadder to realize that they 
seem to have no remorse of con-
science when they perform these 



10 GOD ON WEEKDAYS 

evil- deeds. They need to bring 
God into their weekday occupa-
tions. 

It would be a mistake, how-
ever, to blame only those in 
higher posts in the business 
world, the owners and the man-
agers of large concerns. Many 
persons in humbler positions, 
the workers and employees, are 
woefully neglectful of the duties 
imposed on them by the com-
mandments of God. There are 
some—I would even say there 
are many—who habitually come 
late to work or slip away before 
the appointed hour or waste in 
idleness the time they are sup-
posed to give to their, work. 
Employees who fail in such ways 
have no right to the full amount 
of the salary they receive. 
Others take equipment or ma-
terial from the office or shop 
where they are employed with-
out the permission of their em-
ployers. Others, who are en-
titled to submit an expense ac-
count to the firm, add expenses 
which they have actually not in-
curred. These are acts of injus-
tice, acts of theft. The fact 
that they occur frequently today, 
and that many of those who 
perpetrate them are evidently 
not conscious of any guilt does 

not make them right in the sight 
of God. 

Perhaps the most deplorable 
and the most common fault on 
the part of many workers today 
is their carelessness in perform-
ing their appointed tasks. Ap-
parently their only objective is 
to get the largest possible salary 
for the least possible effort. The 
result is that many of the 
articles produced today are poor-
ly made, or put together in a 
slipshod, careless manner, and 
are sometimes worthless after a 
brief period of use. 

How different was the atti-
tude of the workingmen of the 
middle ages, when Christian 
ideals influenced every phase of 
life! You will find an example 
of this in the buildings erected 
during those centuries, especi-
ally the majestic cathedrals of 
Europe, which even today are 
the envy and the admiration of 
architects and builders. How 
painstaking and conscientious 
was the workmanship put into 
these structures, even in the 
smallest details! The reason for 
this is that those workmen of 
long ago performed their tasks in 
a spirit of faith, with a desire to 
give glory to God and service to 
their fellowmen. And so, they 



GOD IN THE OFFICE 11 

put their whole heart and soul 
into their work. 

There is no reason why this 
same spirit of faith cannot enter 
into our daily tasks also. What-
ever may be the particular na-
ture of our work, we can per-
form it with the desire to serve 
God, who has given us the power 
to work and to serve our fellow-
men who will benefit by our la-
bors. Everyone can perform his 
daily tasks with such noble mo-
tives, whether he be a bank 
president or a bootblack, wheth-
er he be supervising the erection 
of a suspension bridge or dig-
ing a ditch. And when a person 
brings God into his work in this 
way, he merits the consoling as-
surance of the Son of God: "As 
long as you did it for one of 
these, the least of my children, 
you did it for me." (Matt. XXV, 
40). 

An,d so, dear friends, what-
ever may be your business or 
trade in everyday life, remember 
that you have the obligation to 
bring God into it—which means 
you must conduct it in accord-
ance with His law. If you have 
a place of wealth and influence 
in the business world, with hun-
dreds or thousands of men and 
women in your employment, bear 
in mind that you have no right 

to look on them as inferior in 
dignity or true worth to your-
self. They are the children of 
God endowed with immortal 
souls made to the image and 
likeness of God, and as such 
they have a claim to be treated 
by you justly and courteously 
and charitably. The fact that 
they work for you does not make 
them your slaves. Very probably 
it is only through purely acci-
dental circumstances that you 
are wealthier than they, not be-
cause of any special ability you 
may possess. It may well be that 
actually many of your employees 
are far superior to you in mental 
and moral qualities. 

Bear well in mind that the 
laws of God bind you even in 
transactions which are not cov-
ered by the laws of the country. 
If you violate justice, the mere 
fact that you can escape the pun-
ishment of the civil laws does 
not mean that you can escape 
the punishment of a just God. 
The very fact that you have re-
ceived more of this world's 
goods than the average person 
means that you must render a 
stricter account to God; for of 
him to whom much has been giv-
en much shall be required. 

If you are in a humble post in 
the business world, if you are 



12 GOD ON WEEKDAYS 

one of the great multitude who 
have to work for their more for-
tunate fellowmen, give the full 
measure of service you have 
agreed to give, perform your 
work faithfully and exactly. 
Even though men do not show 
their appreciation of your con-
scientious and faithful labor, 
God will see it, and God will re-
ward you if you do it out of love 
for Him. Don't be discouraged 
or soured because you are not 
wealthy, because you have not 
won success from a worldly 
standpoint. Riches are no guar-
antee of happiness; you will be 
truly happy even though you are 
poor, if you try to serve-God to 
the best of your ability. 

Today in our land there is 
much conflict between capital 

and labor, between employers 
and employees. Every means has 
been tried to bring about peace 
and harmony between these two 
conflicting groups, such as con-
ferences, legislation and arbi-
tration. Such methods can help 
and have-helped to some degree; 
but the conflict still keeps on and 
will keep on until both sides 
realize that all men are subject 
to the laws of God in every 
phase of life, and try to put this 
lesson into practice. In a word, 
the solution of our labor prob-
lems will be found only when 
God is allowed to enter into fac-
tory and office and shop, and to 
find there men and women who 
wish to obey His commandments 
to serve Him and their fellow-
men with the full measure of 
their loyalty and love. 



GOD IN THE PRESSROOM 
Address delivered 

rOne of the most important fea-
tures of modern life is the news-
paper published daily through-
out the United States; and every 
day more than one hundred mil-
lion Americans read at least 
one of these journals. Day and 
night in all parts of our coun-
try reporters, editors, photo-
graphers, printers, truck-driv-
ers and newsdealers are con- _ 
stantly engaged in the work of 
getting the newspapers printed 
and made available to the public 
as soon as possible. 

The influence of the press in 
moulding the opinions and guid-
ing the conduct of the readers is 
something that cannot be meas-
ured, though it is safe to say 
that it has increased tremend-
ously in recent years. Like every 
factor in human life, it can be 
used either for good or for evil. 
Consequently, those engaged in 
newspaper work should realize 
that they have a strict obligation 
in conscience to obey God's laws 
in the performance of their daily 
tasks. They must bring God into 
the pressroom. It is a sad fact— 
and I say this without any hesi-
tation—that many of our pres-

on June 11, 1950 

ent-day newspaper publishers 
and writers have absolutely no 
regard for the commandments of 
God as they apply to journalism. 
Their one objective is to sell as 
many copies of their paper as 
they can; they are not concerned 
with moral principles, as long as 
they do not run afoul of the 
civil law. 

What are the commandments 
of God that apply to the news-
paper business? In the first 
place, the presentation of facts 
should be truthful and exact, 
especially when they concern the 
conduct or the character of some 
particular individual. Newspap-
er writers should bear well in 
mind that it takes only a few 
words to destroy a person's re-
putation; and once a person's 
reputation has been destroyed, it 
is almost impossible to restore 
it. It is not difficult for a clever 
writer to describe an incident 
in such a way that nothing real-
ly false is said, but some of the 
circumstances are passed over 
and certain innuendos are made, 
so that eventually the reader is 
given an entirely false impres-
sion of the occurrence. Again, it 



14 GOD ON WEEKDAYS 

is quite easy to report a person's 
statements, but to omit certain 
phrases, so that the readers are 
led to believe that he asserted 
something very different from 
what he actually said. Of course, 
this is dishonest journalism; yet 
it is done—and done frequently 
—in the press of our nation. I 
wonder how many of those who 
report or write in this fashion 
realize that they are gravely 
transgressing God's law: "Thou 
shalt not bear false witness 
against thy neighbor." 

Many persons seem to think 
they are always permitted to 
make public anything they know 
about an individual, as ' long as 
what they say is true. This is a 
serious mistake. According to 
God's law, we are not allowed to 
make known the hidden sins and 
faults of our fellowman,.unless 
this is necessary in order to pre-
vent some grave evil or to pro-
cure some great good. This law 
of God applies not only to the 
conversations that go on in so-
cial gatherings, such as sewing 
circles or bridge parties, but also 
to the items appearing in the 
columns of our newspapers. 
Those who unnecessarily injure 
a person's reputation, even 
though they speak the truth, 
are guilty of detraction. It may 

not be the crime of libel accord-
ing to civil law; but it is a grave 
sin according to the law of God. 

m 

There are times, of course, 
when it is permissible and even 
obligatory to reveal a person's 
secret misdeeds—for example, 
when he is plotting against the 
government. Or again, if a man 
is a candidate for political of-
fice and a newspaper writer is 
aware of certain defects in this 
man's character that would 
make him unfit for the position, 
the newspaper man has a right 
to bring the matter to the at-
tention of the public. In fact, by 
so acting he would be doing 
something helpful toward the 
welfare of his country; and it 
would require great courage on 
the part of an editor or a report-
er to publish such information 
when the person concerned has 
the power to avenge himself. But 
it is very different in the case 
of a political candidate who per-
haps did something wrong years 
ago which was not known to the 
general public, but who is now 
leading a good, honest life and is 
fully worthy of the office he is 
seeking. If an editor revealed in 
his columns this moral lapse of 
the distant past, which has no 
bearing on the man's present 
worthiness, he would be guilty 



GOD IN THE PRESSROOM 15 

of a violation of charity and 
justice. 

One of the most deplorable 
features in some of our news-
papers is the amount of space 
devoted to the sensational re-
ports of crimes—especially sex 
crimes. I suppose those who con-
trol such newspapers would de-
fend themselves on the score 
that they are merely reporting 
what actually took place. They 
might even argue that they are 
doing a service to our people by 
warning them of , the rapid in-
crease of crime in our land. It 
would be gratifying to believe 
that they have s<5 noble a motive 
rather than the desire to in-
crease their circulation. In any 
event, whatever service may be 
rendered by the lurid descrip-
tions of disgusting deeds is far 
outweighed by the harm that is 
done. Many persons of unstable 
character are undoubtedly in-
jured emotionally and morally 
by reading the detailed accounts 
of obscene deeds that are featur-
ed by some of our journals, and 
sometimes are even induced to 
imitate what they read. For that 
reason many decent and God-
fearing parents in our land to-
day will not allow certain news-
papers to fall into the hands of 
their boys and girls. Unfortun-

ately, however, there are many 
other parents who have no con-
cern whatsoever for the type of 
reading, matter availed to their 
children, and so they allow them 
free access to newspapers whose 
suggestive stories and lascivi-
ous pictures will fill their minds 
with evil thoughts and desires. 

The modern newspaper con-
tains much more than news. It 
has a staff of highly paid edi-
torial writers and columnists 
who express their views on ev-
ery conceivable topic. This is, in 
itself, a praiseworthy feature of 
our press; for the comments of 
these writers, if they are sound 
and logical, can help the readers 
to think correctly. Moreover, it 
is a healthy exemplification of 
the freedom of speech, which is 
one of the cherished features of 
American democracy. But it 
should be remembered that free-
dom of speech does not include 
the right to say anything and 
everything. It does not include 
the right to vilif-y and to cal-
umniate. It does not include the 
right to foster among the citi-
zens of our country a spirit of 
disloyalty and disobedience to-
ward those who govern us. 
Reasonable and just criticism of 
those in public office is some-
thing helpful toward securing 



16 GOD ON WEEKDAYS 

good men as our civil officials; 
but unreasonable and unjust de-
nunciation of our public serv-
ants tends to destroy the sense 
of patriotism among our people. 
We must not forget that once a 
man has been elected to a post of 
civil authority, he is the repre-
sentative of God Himself, and as 
such has a right to the respect 
and the support of all loyal citi-
zens. Our newspaper commenta-
tors should bear in mind that 
they are fortunate to live in a 
land where freedom of speech is 
allowed, instead of behind the 
Iron Curtain where one may not 
criticize the government if he 
values his life. And in gratitude 
to God for the liberty they en-
joy in America they should be 
careful not to abuse this right of 
free speech by unjust and un-
necessary criticism. 

It is not wrong for a newspap-
er to commit itself to the sup-
port of one of the political par-
ties. Indeed, it is good for our 
country that there should be dif-
ferences of party allegiance 
among the various newspapers. 
But newspaper writers on politi-
cal subjects must never resort to 
unethical means, such as calum-
ny and detraction of the rival 
candidates. An unfortunate fea-
ture of some political campaigns 

in America is the practice of the 
leaders of each party to make 
the most serious charges, how-
ever unfounded, against their 
opponents, for the purpose of 
influencing the voters. Now the 
fact that this is done very often 
does not make it right in the 
eyes of God, particularly when 
those who make these charges 
are newspaper commentators, 
whose words carry weight with 
thousands of readers. 

Today many newspapers carry 
a column containing answers to 
questions from correspondents, 
and a wide variety of problems 
is submitted, ranging from such 
harmless factual subjects as the 
population of a certain city to 
such intimate personal matters 
as the choice of a husband or 
the settling of a domestic quar-
rel. The question has often en-
tered my mind—and I suppose 
the minds of many others—how 
much specialized knowledge is 
possessed by the persons who 
reply to these questions with 
such assurance and authority. 
One fact is very evident—in 
many of the answers given in 
such columns there is a sad lack 
of the advice the questioners 
need most, the recommendation 
to observe God's law, to pray to 
Him for light and strength, to 



GOD IN THE PRESSROOM 17 

accept patiently the trials of life 
as coming from His hands. But 
God is not often admitted to 
these columns. 

Advertising is a big business 
nowadays, and one of its most 
widely used channels is the daily 
press. The fact that there is so 
much money involved in adver-
tising renders it a strong temp-
tation to dishonest practices. 
Last week I spoke of this mat-
ter in connection with those who 
promote advertising. This week 
I am referring to it in connec-
tion with those who print ad-
vertising in their newspapers. 
Beyond doubt much of the rev-
enue of the modern newspaper 
comes from the advertising. It 
is sometimes stated that news-
paper owners can be induced to 
support political policies favor-
able to the advertisers by the 
threat that otherwise the adver-
tising will be withdrawn. I have 
no means of knowing to what ex-
tent this is true; but I can say 
unhesitatingly that any manager 
or editor of a paper who is led 
by such a threat to uphold a 
cause which he believes to be op-
posed to the welfare of the peo-
ple is disloyal to his country. 
Those who publish newspapers 
should also bear in mind that 
they are responsible for the type 

of advertising they carry in 
their columns, and if they ad-
mit advertisements that are pat-
ently false or indecent, they are 
cooperators in the harm that is 
done to the readers. 

I suppose many of my lis-
teners have never before real-
ized the nature and the extent 
of the obligations imposed by 
the law of God on those who par-
ticipate in the publication and 
the circulation of a newspaper. 
But, my dear friends, do not 
imagine that only those actually 
engaged in the newspaper busi-
ness have the obligation to see 
that God's law is obeyed in the 
pressroom. Those who read the 
papers as well as those who pub-
lish them have the duty to sup-
port the moral standards of the 
press. The publishers would soon 
withdraw objectionable features 
from their columns if the people 
refused to buy their papers. And 
so, I say to all of you who read 
the daily papers: [Don't patron-
ize those journals that seek sen-
sationalism rather than truth in 
their presentation of news, or 
those papers that unjustly de-
fame men and women in private 
or public life or those papers 
that specialize in sordid and in-
decent stories and pictures. You, 
the people of America, can and 



18 GOD ON WEEKDAYS 

should, all of you, do your part 
toward giving us a press that is 
truthful and clean and honest.~\ 
Show in a practical way, by your 
patronage or non-patronage, that 
you wish our press to maintain 
a high standard of morality. In 
a word, make it very clear that 
you wish God and God's law to 
be given consideration in the 
newspapers of our land. 

The press can help us very 
much by informing us truthful-
ly what is taking place through-
out the world, so that we are 

better prepared to preserve, the 
strength and the liberty of our 
nation. The press can aid us to 
choose worthy and efficient can-
didates for public office. The 
press can keep us in touch with 
cultural and scientific progress. 
The press can give us inspira-
tion and encouragement in our 
daily lives. The press can even 
teach us lessons of virtue and 
wisdom. When those who con-
duct a newspaper strive for 
these ideals, we can say with 
truth that they have admitted 
God into the pressroom. 



GOD IN THE THEATER 
Address delivered 

Some persons believe it is sin-
ful to take part in amusements. 
They think that God is offended 
when people enjoy themselves; 
and so, they abstain from all 
forms of entertainment. The 
Catholic Church has never fav-
ored this rigorous doctrine. Ac-
cording to Catholic teaching, 
recreation is a normal and law-
ful feature of human life. If we 
wish to put our best efforts into 
the more serious tasks that we 
are obliged to perform, we must 
at times relax through the reas-
onable use of enjoyable di-
versions. And since God made us 
with a nature that calls for some 
recreation, it must be in accord-
ance with God's will that we de-
vote some time to pleasant en-
joyments. 

Since the dawn of history one 
of the most popular forms of 
entertainment has been the 
theater. The Catholic Church has 
not only never condemned the 
theater, but has even approved 
this type of recreation. In the 
middle ages religious dramas 
portraying the events connected 
with Christmas and Easter were 
regularly enacted under the au-

on June 18, 1950 

spices of the Church—sometimes 
even within the church itself. 
Plays of a lighter nature were 
presented in the public squares, 
and the Catholic Church made no 
objection as long as these theat-
rical performances were not 
tainted by anything irreverent 
or indecent. 

Nowadays the theater has be-
come one of the most extensive 
features of American life. There 
has been an especially rapid 
growth in this form of amuse-
ment since the invention of mo-
tion pictures has made it pos-
sible for even the smallest town 
to have its own theater, and its 
daily showing of popular films. 
Consequently the influence of the 
theater on the ideas and the 
conduct of our people is ever on 
the increase. This is an influence 
which can be productive of much 
good, but unfortunately often 
produces much evil. In 1936 
Pope Pius XI uttered this 
straightforward comment on mo-
tion pictures: "The more mar-
velous the progress of the mo-
tion picture art and industry 
has become, the more pernicious 
and deadly has it shown itself in 



20 GOD ON WEEKDAYS 

regard to morality and religion 
and even the very decencies of 
society." 

In order to perceive the sig-
nificance of this severe condemn-
ation we must consider what the 
theater is supposed to do for the 
audience. Primarily, it is suppos-
ed to provide entertainment; but 
that entertainment should be in 
conformity with man's nature as 
an intelligent being with the ob-
ligation to obey the laws of God. 
There should be in every play, 
whether on the legitimate stage 
or on the motion picture screen, 
something artistic and cultural 
or at least genuinely humorous. 
Even the most rollicking comedy 
can be truly entertaining in the 
clever way in which it portrays 
ridiculous situations. Further-
more, as an even more important 
qualification, the action and the 
words must be in accordance 
with moral and religious stand-
ards, at least in the sense that 
the play contains nothing im-
moral or irreligious. Only when 
a play measures up to these re-
quirements can we say that it 
provides entertainment suitable 
to intelligent human beings and 
conformable to the laws of God. 
Only when it fulfills these condi-
tions can we say that those who 
have produced it and those who 

have witnessed it have brought 
God into the theater. 

Now, it cannot be denied that 
many of the productions on 
stage and screen at the present 
time fall far short of these 
ideals. Much of what is portray-
ed in the theater today is not 
only lacking in cultural and ar-
tistic value and genuine humor, 
but is positively disgusting and 
degrading. Some of our modern 
plays glorify vulgarity and ob-
scenity, and convey the impres-
sion that to be pure and clean-
minded is old-fashioned and ri-
diculous. Some of them present 
scenes so sensuous and so lasciv-
ious that the minds of the spec-
tators cannot but be filled with 
indecent images. Some of them 
are brazenly profane and. even 
blasphemous in their references 
to religious beliefs, or feature 
characters who have no regard 
for the divine commandment: 
"Thou shalt not take the name 
of the Lord, thy God, in vain." 

It is deplorable to realize that 
such plays often attract large 
audiences. It is a sad reflection 
on the moral and cultural aspects 
of American life that shows 
which are filled with foul and 
suggestive language or which 
present in the most seductive 
guise actions that are lewd and 



GOD IN THE THEATER 21 

lustful have the longest run in 
the largest theaters. Why do peo-
ple attend such shows? I sup-
pose some of them are motivated 
chiefly by curiosity. They heard 
about a show of this type from a 
friend, who described it with a 
sophisticated smile, and they 
wish to see it for themselves, so 
they can boast about it after-
ward. In every large city a great 
proportion of those who attend 
indecent shows are people from 
small towns who are anxious to 
tell their neighbors on their re-
turn that they have seen the lat-
est risqué comedy. It is a very 
pitiful and immature attitude on 
the part of people who should 
have more sense. 

However, there are others who 
go to see bad shows because they 
wish to satisfy their craving for 
what is indecent and obscene. 
They are desirous of feasting 
their eyes on spectacles that are 
vile and debasing; and because 
there are theater goers of this 
type, there are theaters that 
cater to their tastes. 

Sometimes those who are ac-
customed to frequent plays spe-
cializing in the obscene defend 
themselves with the argument 
that a play should portray what 
occurs in real life; and immoral-
ity and sin do occur in real life. 

But this argument is entirely il-
logical, and those who propose it 
are fj very inconsistent. They 
would never serve a guest at 
a dinner with soiled table-linen 
and unwashed dishes, on the 
score that physical uncleanness 
occurs in. real life. Why then 
should they defend the practice 
of presenting moral filth in all 
its disgusting details before the 
eyes of an audience, just be-
cause there is moral uncleanness 
in real life? 

Realism is not indeed forbid-
den on the stage or in literature 
^-namely, realism as far as is 
necessary to convey the idfea of 
moral defilement. But this does 
not call for a detailed portrayal 
of lascivious conduct or the use 
of language that is vulgar and 
sordid. Such conduct and langu-
age only defile the imagination 
-of the audience, without adding 
anything to their intellectual 
concepts. The dramatic art, like 
every other art, should be not 
only realistic, but also idealistic. 
Whenever moral evil is portray-
ed, the antithesis should also be 
presented in the form of a noble 
thought or a lofty inspiration, to 
raise the minds and hearts of 
the audience to what is noble and 
pure. A painting would not be a 
work of art if it were made up 



22 GOD ON WEEKDAYS 

of shadows without light. A 
musical composition would not 
be a work of art if it contained 
only discords without harmony. 
So too, a play is not a work of 
art if it portrays only moral ug-
liness without any moral beauty. 

Those who are fond of attend-
ing plays of low moral calibre 
sometimes claim that they are 
not affected unfavorably by what 
they see and hear in the theater. 
But they are refuted by the well 
established psychological fact 
that strong impressions made on 
the imagination inevitably exert 
a powerful influence on a per-
son's* thoughts and desires and 
actions. When people habitually 
and unnecessarily fill their im-
agination with degrading pic-
tures, they will necessarily, even 
though imperceptibly, suffer a 
lowering of the moral standards 
that govern their lives. 

In the United States the Cath-
olic Church has established an 
organization called the Legion of 
Decency, the purpose of which 
is to induce people to stay away 
from motion pictures that are 
morally objectionable. There is 
nothing prudish or puritanical 
in the norms for judging films 
accepted by this organization; 
yet it is an unpleasant fact that 
a considerable number of the 

pictures produced at the present 
day are listed by this society as 
morally harmful, at least in part. 
The reason for this is very evi-
dent. In order to attract those 
who are fond of the portrayal of 
what is indecent, pornographic 
scenes are often introduced into 
pictures ' which are otherwise 
perfectly good, even though 
these additions have absolutely 
no bearing on the plot. 

In his Encyclical on motion 
pictures Pope Pius XI made a 
statement which in a few words 
sums up the moral aspect of the 
screen. He said: "Everyone 
knows what damage is done to 
the soul by bad motion pictures. 
They are occasions of sin; they 
seduce young people along the 
ways of evil by glorifying the 
passions; they show life under 
a false light; they cloud ideals; 
they destroy pure love, respect 
for marriage, and affection for 
the family . . . On the other 
hand, good motion pictures are 
capable of exercising a .pro-
foundly moral influence upon 
those who see them. In addition 
to affording recreation, they are 
able to arouse noble ideals of 
life, to communicate valuable 
concepts, to impart better knowl-
edge-of the history and beauties 
of one's own land and of other 



GOD IN THE THEATER 23 

countries, to present truth and 
virtue under attractive forms." 

These words of the noble-
hearted Pope Pius XI should be 
an incentive to us to strive to 
maintain high standards in our 
theater. The most practical way 
for theater goers to attain this 
objective is to refuse to attend 
plays that are indecent and to 
patronize those that are clean 
and inspiring. For, in the final 
analysis the receipts in the box 
office provide the most effective 
argument to the producers either 
for or against a play. 

And so, dear friends, if you 
wish the laws of God to be ob-
served in the theaters of our 
land—in other words, if you 
wish to have only good, decent 
shows on stage, or screen—make 
a careful choice of those you at-
tend. When you know that a play 
is morally offensive because it is 
insulting to religion, or because 
it presents irreverence toward 
God as something funny or be-
cause it abounds in scurrilous 
language, or because it glorifies 
marital unfaithfulness, or be-
cause_it contains scenes that are 
lewd and loathsome, show your 
disapproval by refusing to see 
it; and have the courage to tell 
others why you do not like such 

shows. If God has given you the 
privilege of parenthood, entrust-
ing to your care the souls of lit-
tle ones destined to the happi-
ness of heaven, see to it that 
your boys and girls are counsel-
led and guided in their choice of 
entertainment as befits those 
who have this immortal destiny. 
Don't let their minds and hearts 
be led astray by shows or motion 
pictures that present in a man-
ner most attractive to young 
folks things that are evil and de-
praved. 

In a word, dear friends, let 
God have a place even in your 
recreation and amusement. He is 
not displeased when you enjoy 
yourselves, as long as you do not 
violate His laws. He has given 
you a human nature that needs 
relaxation at times, and as long 
as your recreation is innocent, 
you are actually pleasing God 
when you enjoy the lawful 
pastimes of life. And when you 
seek your relaxation in this type 
of entertainment, God will be 
with you in your hours of plea-
sure and amusement, and your 
happiness will be the greater 
from thé realization that you are 
enjoying it with the benign ap-
proval and the loving blessing 
of your heavenly Father. 



GOD IN THE HOME 
Address delivered 

Dear Friends: 
If there is any place on earth 

where God should be present, 
it is the home. In every home 
God's name should be rever-
enced, God's I19IP should be im-
plored, God's law should be 
obeyed. For every home should 
be the abode of the most ardent 
and the most intimate human 
love; and human love is true love 
only when it is ennobled and 
sanctified by love for God. 

The home is the sanctuary of 
the family; and the family is the 
basic unit of society, the divinely 
established institution for the 
preservation and the propaga-
tion of the human race. It is on 
the family life of a nation that 
the strength of the nation chiefly 
depends. When honesty and tem-
perance and reverence for God 
are fostered in family life, the 
citizens will be united in loy-
alty and devotion to their coun-
try. But when the laws of God 
are violated in family life, the 
public order will be disturbed, 
crime will flourish, and patriot-
ism will become a dead letter. In 
a word, unless God dwells in the 
homes of a nation, the nation is 
on its way to destruction. 

on June 25, 1950 

In view of these serious con-
siderations, which have been 
proved to be true time and time 
again in the history of the hu-
man race, it is vitally important 
that we ask ourselves honestly 
what kind of family life prevails 
in our land today. Is God given 
a place in the homes of the 
American people? Are the laws 
of God being obeyed by the 
citizens of our country within 
the family circle? Without boast-
ing, but rather in a spirit of 
humble gratitude, we can say 
honestly that in many American 
homes the members of the fam-
ily are giving God the place of 
honor which is due to Him. 
There are many homes through-
out our nation where the hus-
band and wife respect their mar-
riage bond as a sacred, sacra-
mental union, enriched with 
God's special blessing; where 
they take seriously their obli-
gation to train their children in 
the knowledge and the love of 
God; where they are constantly 
solicitous to protect their boys 
and girls from the godless and 
immoral influences that perme-
ate modern life; where they lead 
their family daily in reverent 



GOD IN THE HOME 25 

prayer. Because there are many 
such homes in America today, 
we should be grateful to the Al-
mighty. 

But there is another side to 
the picture. There are also 
homes—many homes—which are 
sadly lacking* in any religious 
influences, homes in which God 
and God's law receive little or 
no attention and respect. The 
people who dwell in these homes 
are not, as a group, atheists; 
most of them believe in God, 
many of them go to church at 
least from time to time. But 
they seem to be unaware that 
religion is for the home as well 
as the church, that religious 
principles must be put into prac-
tice on weekdays as well as on 
Sundays. And so, whatever may 
be their religious beliefs in 
theory, they have little or no 
practical effect on the daily lives 
of these people. 

One of the deplorable mani- . 
festations of the neglect of God 
and of God's law in the home is 
the habit of constant quarrelling 
and wrangling that so often pre-
vails between a married couple. 
The slightest disagreement is 
sufficient to start a battle. What 
has become of the fervent prom-
ise they made on their wedding 
day to cherish and to love each 
other until death? It has ceased 

to have any practical meaning in 
their lives because of the selfish-
ness and arrogance of one or 
both of the parties. And be-
cause this unfortunate condition 
exists in so many American 
homes today, the evil of divorce 
has penetrated into American 
life to such an extent that hun-
dreds of thousands of marriages 
end every year in the divorce 
court. We could not have a clear-
er evidence of the rejection of 
God from many of the homes 
of our nation. For it was Jesus 
Christ, the true Son of God, who 
said: "What God has joined to-
gether, let no man put asunder" 
(Matt., 19:6). 

There are other homes in 
which the couple have no inten-
tion of procuring a divorce, but 
have lost the deep, constant af-
fection for each other that in 
God's plan should unite in heart 
and soul the man and woman 
who have decided to walk the 
pathway of life, hand in hand, 
until they are parted by death. 
Sometimes this is due to an in-
nocent, but misplaced affection 
of one of the parties for his or 
her parents. Married couples 
should remember that according 
to God's law "a man shall leave 
his father and mother, and 
cleave to his wife" (Matthew, 
19:5). Sometimes, alas, the di-



26 GOD ON WEEKDAYS 

viding factor is the infatuation 
of one of the couple for a third 
party; and this is an act of 
treason, comparable to the base 
deed of the traitor who betrays 
his country. Sometimes it is 
due to an immoderate interest in 
some outside activity, such as 
business or sport or social life, 
which takes too much of the time 
and attention of a married per-
son away from the home. What-
ever may be the source, any pre-
occupation of this kind is an ob-
stacle to the ideal type of mar-
ried life, as God has planned it. 
It means that God is not given 
the place that is due to Him in 
the lives of the married couple. 
We must never forget that, al-
though marriage is usually re-
garded as a union in which two 
are involved, a man and a wom-

"an, it is actually intended to be 
a union in which three are in-
volved—a man, a woman, and 
God. 

In the design of the Creator, 
marriage has been established 
primarily for the benefit of so-
ciety. For the principal ob-
ject of married life is to bring 
human beings into the world and 
to care for them until they are 
able to make their own way in 
life. This task ¡calls for a spirit 
of heroic self-sacrifice and gen-
erous devotion on the part of 

those privileged to be parents. 
A father and mother, if they 
would perform their duty per-
fectly, must be untiring in their 
solicitude for the physical, in-
tellectual and spiritual welfare 
of their boys and girls not only 
in the years of their childhood, 
but also through the years of 
adolescence until they have come 
to the age of bodily and mental 
maturity. 

Generally speaking, American 
parents do not neglect the ma-
terial and physical aspects of 
their children's welfare. Seldom 
do we hear of parents who fail 
to provide their sons and daugh-
ters with the food and clothing 
and other material resources 
they need. In fact, if anything, 
there is a tendency on the part 
of many parents to be unduly 
generous in' the material gifts 
they lavish on their sons and 
daughters. They , spend more 
than they can reasonably afford 
to give their boys and girls lux-
uries—clothing, jewelry, auto-
mobiles—so that they will keep 
up with their neighbors in the 
ridiculous race for social pres-
tige. This extreme' of excessive 
generosity on the part of parents 
is just as bad as the other ex-
treme, the neglect of the physi-
cal welfare of their offspring. 
For it gives the younger genera-



GOD IN THE HOME 27 

tion a false idea of the value of 
material things in the pattern of 
life. 

However, in the matter of the 
spiritual and religious training 
of ftie younger generation there 
is a deplorable attitude of in-
difference on the part of many 
parents in our land. Today there 
are millions of American boys 
and girls who have received prac-
tically no instruction in religion 
and morality from those who are 
supposed to be their guides and 
teachers in this most important 
phase of life. In their homes 
they have never heard a prayer, 
they have never heard the name 
of God spoken in faith and rev-
erence, they have never received 
a lesson in virtue based on the 
law of God. Perhaps they have 
been told that certain things are 
right and certain things are 
wrong; but the motive proposed 
to them was purely natural and 
human, not supernatural and di-
vine. The parents of these boys 
and girls are guilty of gross 
neglect in the fulfillment of their 
obligation to provide for the 
spiritual and religious training 
of the souls which God has com-
mitted to their care and super-
vision. 

How can boys and girls be ex-
pected to face the problems of 
life without spiritual guidance? 

And those who have the first 
duty to furnish this guidance 
are those who brought them into 
the world. Even though children 
are sent regularly to church, 
even though they may attend a 
school in which religious instruc-
tion is given, they still must re-
ceive moral and spiritual train-
ing from their parents if their 
parents wish them to become 
good men and good women. It 
is neither in the church nor in 
the school, but in the home that 
a child should first be trained to 
know and to love God, and be 
made aware of his obligation to 
obey God's law. 

Parents have the strict obli-
gation to protect their growing 
sons and daughters from dan-
gers to their moral and relig-
ious formation. In this matter 
there is grave negligence in 
many American homes. There 
are thousands of fathers and 
mothers in our land today who 
seem to be utterly indifferent as 
to the type of influences and- as-
sociations surrounding their 
boys and girls. They permit 
these young folks to read any 
books they wish, to attend any 
shows or motion pictures they 
desire, to associate with any 
companions they choose. Such 
parents seem never to realize 
that God who entrusted these 



28 GOD ON WEEKDAYS 

children to their care will one 
day demand a reckoning of the 
way in which they have ful-
filled their duties as parents. 

One of the serious problems 
in modern American life is the 
alarming increase of drunken-
ness in the youth of our nation. 
We cannot shut our eyes to the 
fact that hundreds of thousands 
of our high school boys and girls 
are well on the way to becom-
ing drunkards. Of course, it 
would be unjust to blame the 
parents of these young folks in 
every instance; but it is safe to 
say that in many cases the fault 
lies mainly with the parents, 
who either did not properly su-
pervise the conduct of'their sons 
and daughters or failed to give 
them suitable counsel and ex-
ample in the virtue of temper-
ance. 

Much is said and written now-
adays about sex instruction. All 
sensible educators agree that 
proper instruction of this kind 
should be given to children, at 
a suitable age, and that this in-
struction should be provided by 
the parents. Beyond doubt, the 
unfortunate moral lapses of some 
of our young people are due 
mainly to the neglect of their 
parents to provide them with 
adequate sex instruction. How-
ever, parents should bear well 

in mind that sex instruction does 
not mean merely biological in-
formation. It must embrace also 
inspirational factors, motives for 
leading a pure, chaste life; and 
the only motives that can effec-
tively produce this result are 
motives based on religious prin-
ciples. 

From this brief summary of 
the duties which God's law im-
poses on married couples—duties 
toward each other and toward 
their offspring—it is very clear 
that married life involves con-
stant self-sacrifice and gener-
osity, and at times heroic vir-
tue. But in the performance of 
their duties, married people have 
the unfailing assistance of God, 
who established the married 
state, and conferred on it His 
special blessing from the very 
beginning of the human race. 
And according to Catholic belief, 
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, ele-
vated Christian marriage to the 
dignity of a sacrament, so that 
whenever two baptized Chris-
tians are married, whether they 
be Catholics or membersof some 
other religious denomination, 
they receive the sacrament of 
Matrimony to give them super-
natural guidance and strength. 
Down through the years they 
partake of the graces of this sac-
rament, helping them to be wor-



GOD IN THE HOME 29 

thy of the sublime dignity of 
their married state, and to ful-
fil faithfully their obligations 
toward each other and toward 
the.children whom God may send 
them. 

Of course, children too have 
their duties in the bosom of fam-
ily life—duties which the Al-
mighty included in the brief 
commandment: "Honor thy fa-
ther and thy mother." They must 
reverence and obey and love their 
parents; never may they forget 
the gratitude they owe to those 
who gave them life. But I have 
emphasized rather the duties of 
parents, because I sincerely be-
lieve that the sad situation of 
family life in so many Ameri-
can homes today is due primar-
ily to the neglect of duty on the 
part of husband and wife. 

This situation will be reme-
died only when God is brought 
into the home, only when He re-
ceives due reverence and obedi-
ence from all the members of 
the family. Material prosperity 
does not make for happiness in 
home life; a rich home may be a 
very unhappy home. But, on the 

other hand, a very humble and 
poor household may abound in 
joy and contentment; for the 
home in which God dwells is a 
sanctuary of peace and love and 
happiness. 

And so, dear friends, we come 
to the conclusion of our series 
of radio talks under the general 
title "God on Weekdays." I sin-
cerely hope that my words have 
brought to my hearers some 
guidance and helpful suggestions 
as to the way in which they can 
bring God and God's law into 
their daily lives. For today 
God is needed in all walks of 
life; and it is because He has 
been rejected by many that there 
is so much disorder and unhappi-
ness in modern life. May y®u 
all, dear friends, learn well the 
lesson that the more generous 
the devotion and love you give 
to God, the more securely and 
joyfully will you travel the jour-
ney of life. For those who keep 
God in their souls during the 
brief span of their earthly years 
will possess Him forever in the 
world to come. May His blessing 
rest on all of you and bring you 
all one day to life eternal. 



THE PURPOSE OF THE CATHOLIC HOUR 
'Extract from the address of the late Patrick Cardinal Hayes at the in-

augural program of the Catholic Hour in the studio of the National 
Broadcasting Company, New York City, March 2, 1930.) 

Our congratulations and our gratitude are extended to the National 
Council of Catholic Men and its officials, and to all who, by their financial 
suppQrt, have made it possible to use this offer of the National Broad-
casting Company. The heavy expense of managing and financing a 
weekly program, its musical numbers, its speakers, the subsequent an-
swering of inquiries, must be met. . . . 

This radio hour is for all the people of the United States. To our 
fellow-citizens, in this word of dedication, we wish to express a cordial 
greeting and, indeed, congratulations. For this radio hour is one of 
service to America, which certainly will listen in interestedly, and even 
sympathetically, I am sure, to the voice of the ancient Church with its 
historic background of all the centuries of the Christian era, and with 
its own notable contribution to the discovery, exploration, foundation 
and growth of our glorious country. . . . 

Thus to voice before a vast public the Catholic Church is no light 
task. Our prayers will be with those who have that task in hand. We 
feel certain that it will have both the good will and the good wishes of 
the great majority of our countrymen. Surely, there is no true lover 
of our Country who does not eagerly hope for a less worldly, a less 
material, and a more spiritual standard among our people. 

With good will, with kindness and with Christ-like sympathy for 
all. this work is inaugurated. So may it continue. So may it be ful-
filled. This word of dedication voices, therefore, the hope that this radio 
hour may serve to make known, to explain with the charity of Christ, 
our fai^h. which we love even as we love Christ Himself. May it serve 
to make better understood that faith as it really is—a light revealing 
the pathway to heaven: a strength, and a power divine through Christ; 
pardoning our sins, elevating, consecrating our common every-day duties 
and joys, bringing not only justice but gladness and peace to our search-
ing and questioning hearts.
