CRUSADE A GROWING WAVE of immodesty in dress, which degrades womanhood and leads to a break- down of public morals has been sweeping over the entire nation. No level of society is immune from its influence and no community is loo small or remote to escape its infection. This widespread violation of the very basic standards of decency in dress has been so pronounced during the last few decades that youth and adults are faced with the grave danger of developing warped or erroneous consciences about so fundamental a matter. The unceasing pressure of high-powered advertising in the fashion and picture magazines and newspapers has been a major factor in this trend and has been added to by the development of motion pictures and television on a national and even worldwide scale. The Christian sense of values in relation to morally acceptable wearing apparel is being lost sight of. There is an urgent need, at the present time, for a reassertion of and a reaffirma- tion of the basic principles that govern the moral acceptability of the various types of clothing. A pagan or atheistic culture cannot be expected to change the people’s attitudes in favor of a more decent world of fashions. This is a task for the Soldiers of Christ and the Children of Mary — a task of such great importance that it should be a challenge to all and receive the full co- operation of every Catholic organization and individual in the nation and the world. There must be no delay in seeking the restoration of ivholesome standards of dress and promoting a new appreciation, understanding and love for the virtue of purity and of modesty which protects it. To counteract this wave of immodesty, the S.D.S. Modesty Crusade has been organized to enlist the aid of good people all over the nation who know the problem and are w ill in g to zealously employ their talents and genius to correct the evils. This crusade will not have its full and desired impact on the multibillion dollar clothing industry until the crusaders raise a cry and make such strong demands for more modest fashions that the retailers and manufacturers in every village, town and city across the nation will be acutely aware of their standards and ready to supply their demands. To insure uniformity and greater strength to this Crusade, approved practical norms of dress have been adopted which protect against compromise with questionable or dangerous borderline standards. Those who enlist in this Crusade voluntarily pledge themselves to sup- port and promote it without compromising on a single standard. Only such faithfullness and zealous devotion to this cause will guarantee its complete success. In view on the fact that the teen-age (10-19) population of the United States will increase by over eight millions during the decade 1950-60, it is of extremely great importance that they be properly instructed and protected from morally dangerous influences. If this generation can be icon over to the Christian standard of modest dress, their children and children’s children will be likewise preserved in and inspired to purity. All sensible people are aware that modesty cannot be measured in inches, but ive cannot overlook the fact that some guide must be used as an acceptable norm for the ordinary circumstances in life. Reace of con- science and a sense of moral security is gained when we voluntarily embrace and adopt for ourselves a set of standards that has definite reli- able approval by competent authorities. Left to themselves or left at the mercy of a godless paganism, girls are apt to be confused and to accept standards which are at variance with the Christian ideal and actually an occasion of sin. Young people are often critiziced for their delinquent behaviour. In the SDS Modesty Crusade they prove to the world their high ideals and willingness to fight for their right to be modest. While their standards do not bind under sin, they willingly ascribe to them and lake the lead in fostering and proclaiming the Christian’s respect for the human body as a temple of the Holy Ghost. Beginning and Development of SDS Modesty Crusade The SDS Modesty Crusade was begun by students at Seton High School in Cincinnati. The girls maintained that the only way to guarantee a supply of modestly styled garments was to create a great enough demand for such clothing. With this economic principle in mind, they named their crusade the S.D.S. (Supply the Demand for a Supply) Modesty Crusade. Interest spread rapidly to other schools and other cities. In December of 1951, specific standards were drawn up in Chicago in order to provide a definite guide to fashion experts and store proprietors as well as to guarantee unity among the crusaders throughout the nation. The SDS Standards were first officially approved by Cardinal Stritch of Chicago. They were then submitted to outstanding Moral Theologians for comment. Later, they were sent to the Bishops of the United States for approval. Since that time, the SDS Modesty Crusade has continued to spread throughout the nation and into foreign countries. The following are some of the statements received at the S.D.S. Central Office in Chicago: From the Archdiocese of Chicago , Cardinal Stritch’s statement; “/ am intensely interested in having our Catholic girls form a right conscience in matters of this kind and in creating a demand for decent clothing.” “It pleases me much that you are carrying on your Modesty Crusade among our Catholic girls and that you are instilling into the girls in your Crusade a high sense of their mission as Catholic girls. Urge them to he strong and courageous and to promote the king- dom of Christ by their modesty of dress. Hold up be- fore them the model of all womanhood—Our Blessed Lady. Tell them plainly that Venuses and the rest debase and degrade and lead men to sin. There is a crusade, a crusade which started centuries and cen- turies ago, and that is the crusade of Our Blessed Lady among women. Your activities are only furthering that Crusade.” From the Archdiocese of New York , V. Rev. Charles M. Walsh, Director of Confra- ternity of Christian Doctrine, wrote; "Cardinal Spellman referred your letter to me for reply. It is his reaction that we are all obviously very much in favor of such a program. One of the greatest factors enticing youth away from Christ and His stand- ards is the deplorable lack of modesty in our time. The evil influence of designing, avaricious and lecherous despoilers of youth must be counteracted by a campaign such as yours which creates an aura of purity and inspires, especially in the young, ideals of self-denial and chastity in imitation of Our Lord and His Immaculate Mother.” From the Archdiocese of Boston, Archbishop Cushing wrote; “God bless the grand work of the S.D.S. Modesty Crusade and welcome to its introduction into the Arch- diocese. W herever it has been started in our area it has been a great blessing and produced splendid results.” V. Rev. Francis J. Connell, CSSR, Dean of the School of Sacred Theology at Catholic Univer- sity and also Moral Consultant for the American Ecclesiastical Review wrote; “I am fully in agreement with your S.D.S. Crusade for Modesty. The rules you have adopted are sensible, not based on prudery, but on the true principles of Christian purity. I pray that God will bless your Cru- sade and inspire all our Catholic girls to join it." Rev. John J. Danagher, C.M., Moral Consultant for the Homiletic and Pastoral Review , wrote; “It need not be said that this Crusade deserves the support and the prayers of every Catholic. However, what has impressed me most is that there exists not merely an organization devoted to promoting decency in dress, but an organization with specific and well defined norms to serve as a guide for those who are cooperating in this effort. All too often the world pleads as an excuse for indecency the difficulty of deciding what is indecent. No one of good will can offer that challenge to the S.D.S. Crusade, which has set down reasonable and sound norms of modesty in dress. Let us hope and pray that the crusading zeal of our Catholic teenagers will make itself felt far beyond their own group, and that it will lead to a move general observance of mo- desty in dress and conduct by those around them.” From the Archdiocese of Dubuque, Archbishop Leo Binz wrote; “J am pleased to write that our Archdiocesan weekly, THE WITNESS, has given considerable space for the publicizing of this eminently worthwhile pro- gram. It also has been receiving the enthusiastic sup- port of our teachers at both high school and college levels ; and I understand our young people have co- operated most whole heartedly.” DeacWiRed 3 From the Diocese of Brooklyn , Archbishop Thomas Mulloy wrote; ‘7 may tell you that in the Diocese of Brooklyn I have placed this Crusade under the sponsorship of the Legion of Mary. This diocesan sponsorship has fulfilled its worthy and blessedly useful aspirations and activities through the distribution in parishes and schools of copies of the Standards of Modesty distributed by the SDS Crusade. The clergy, religious, people and youth of the diocese have been reminded of the very holy and salu- tary aims to be realized through the crusade and very fortunately and encouragingly they have responded most considerately. “You may be assured that I shall be only too readi- ly disposed to continue our services in promoting throughout the diocese this most timely and beneficial service in behalf particularly of our young people .” Prayerfully hoping that God will continue to grant to you and to those associated with you His enlighten- ing, strengthening and sustaining grace for the fulfill- ment of your most meritorious work sponsored by the S.D.S. Modesty Crusade, I am, with cordial regards and prayerful wishes . . .” From the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, Archbishop Karl J. Alter wrote; “There can be no doubt in the mind of any ob- servant and thoughtful person that there is urgent need of a concerted emphasis on modesty at the present llime. It is true that our chief effort must always be directed to the cultivation of the interior virtue of purity of mind and heart, but the flagrant disregard of the ordinary rules of decency in dress does call for protest, particularly on the part of our Catholic women, individually and in association with one an- other. I shall refer your letter to our diocesan paper, with the request that attention be given to this Crusade and that moral support of the program be stimulated amongst our readers .” From the Archdiocese of Newark, Bishop Justin J. McCarthy wrote; “Every thougtful priest, bishop, religious and lay person should certainly indorse the practical norms you have stated in the SDS leaflet. Not only will I urge my own people to become vitally interested in the SDS Crusade but I shall make it known to many other priests in our Archdiocese. May God bless your efforts in helping our young ladies to realize how influental they can become in helping others if they are more modest themselves in their dress and manners.’ 9 From the Archdiocese of Newark, V. Rev. Msgr. J. F. Looney, Chancellor, wrote; ‘‘His Excellency, the Archbishop, has asked me to acknowledge your letter and to state that the S.D.S. Mo- desty Crusade has already been featured in the “Advo- cate”, the Archdiocesan paper.” From the Archdiocese of Portland, Oregon, Archbishop Edward Howard wrote; “Your Crusade to promote the beautiful virtue of modesty among the young is assuredly worthy of the highest commendation. It will, of course, be supremely necessary to conduct the Crusade not only in a way temporarily to impress our youth, who need it so very badly, but to awaken in them the necessary enthusiasm that will insure the perpetuity of the movement. I would be very pleased to have you send your pub- licity matter from time to time to our Archdiocesan publication, the Catholic Sentinel, in which it will be published in every way that is prudent and possible.” From the Archbishop’s House, Port of Spain, Archbishop Finbar Ryan wrote; “Since the beginning of the Second World War we have been affected more and more by the influence of American tourists, radio, cinema and, of course, papers. Our people all too easily succumb to such sug- gestion and, naturally, the climate assists. Thanks be to God, however, we have a new genera- tion of young men and women who are determined to work for the elevation of public morals.” From the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, V. Rev. Msgr. Thomas J. Rilley wrote; “Archbishop O’Hara gave me your letter concern- ing the S.D.S. Modesty Crusade. We have been publi- cizing your work through our CYO Program with your pamphlets. The Director of Girls’ Activities has given lectures on your crusade in our high schools and to young adults groups.” From the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, Archbishop Edwin V. Byrne wrote; “I have been following with deep interest your work and apostolate in instilling a correct sense of values into the minds of our Catholic girls and women. Today, more than ever before, there is a crying need for the practical principles and ideals promoted by the Modesty Crusade. It is my fervent hope and prayer that through the Modesty Crusade more and more girls will come to appreciate the beauty of a cor- rect climate of values in imitation of Mary’s purity.” 4 From the Archdiocese of Santa Fe , Rt. Rev. Msgr. C. Blanchard, Chancellor, wrote; “I want to assure you that the S.D.S. Modesty Cru- sade has full approval and support in our Archdiocese. You may quote the approval of Archbishop Byrne of this crusade and state that the change in dress in the Archdiocese has been quite remarkable and is due to the very praiseworthy S.D.S. Modesty Crusade.” . . . “You will be pleased to know that we have had several fashion shows, in which the standards of your Modesty Crusade were put into effect by the girls taking part. These fashion shows have been very successful. Our weekly Catholic newspaper has innumerable times had article after article on the need of having these stand- ards put into effect. It is encouraging to note that near- ly all of the worthwhile stores have gone along with us in supplying modest dresses and gowns.” From the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., V. Rev. Msgr. P. M. Hannan, Chancellor, wrote; “His Excellency, the Most Reverend Archbishop, has instructed me to inform you that he heartily re- commends the objectives of the S.D.S. Modesty Crusade.” From the Diocese of Buffalo, Rt. Rev. Msgr. Maurice Woulfe, Diocesan Youth Director, wrote; “His Excellency Bishop Burke referred your letter to me. I want to assure you that we have been promoting the S.D.S. Modesty Crusade in the Diocese of Buffalo for several years. We are whole-heartedly in accord with you on intensifying the campaign to make the S.D.S. Modesty Crusade well known.” From the Diocese of Albany, Rt. Rev. Msgr. E. J. Maginn, V. G., wrote; “His Excellency, the Most Reverend Bishop Gib- bons has approved the campaign and permits you to use his name . . .” From the Diocese of Camden, Bishop Bartholomew Eustace wrote; “I do most heartily approve of the S.D.S. Modesty Crusade, which I hope and pray will meet with all success.” From the Diocese of Covington, Bishop William K. Mulloy wrote; “The S.D.S. Modesty Crusade was given my offi- cial approval when it was first brought to my attention by our local group. They have done a magnificent piece of work on the local level.” From the Diocese of Davenport , Bishop Ralph L. Hayes wrote; “/ am very happy to approve the S.D.S. Modesty Crusade for the Diocese of Davenport. All will admit that in our day and place there is a pressing necessity for such a crusade. Your program constitutes a valu- able form of legitimate propaganda which should have satisfactory results.” From the Diocese of Fort Wayne, Archbishop Noll wrote; “The Diocese of Fort Wayne has already given much publicity to and recommended your S.D.S. Mo- desty Crusade.” From the Diocese of Helena, Rev. Robert J. McCarthy, Vice-Chancellor, wrote: “You have His Excellency’s full support and co- operation in this most important Crusade.” From the Diocese of La Crosse, Rev. James Finucan, Episcopal Sec’y*, wrote; “God bless your great work! Our girls are waiting for “the word” to clean up fashions. I have never doubted that there are “good kids”—better than ever, l think—but it is obvious that the “fashion” people are misleading even the best of them. We owe it to them to give leadership.” From the Diocese of Lincoln, Bishop Louis B. Kucera wrote; “The project or crusade you are interested in most certainly deserves cooperation from all of us. Anything we can do will be a pleasure.” From the Diocese of Little Rock, Bishop Albert Fletcher wrote; “I wish and pray that every blessing and success will accompany your efforts in this most important Crusade which is totally important and I hope that every means at its command will be used to extend the Crusade throughout the nation and throughout the world” From the Diocese of Los Angeles, Auxiliary Bishop Joseph T. McGucken wrote; “I should like to order for St. Andrew’s Parish 500 copies of the pamphlet “What About Modesty.” From the Diocese of Marquette, Bishop Thomas L. Noa wrote; “I send assurance that every possible encourage- ment will be given in the Diocese of Marquette to pro- mote the S.D.S. Modesty Crusade. I have instructed the Moderator of our Sodality 5 Union and Editor of our Diocesan Weekly to promote a campaign of information and to invite every Sodality in the Diocese to take an active part. Moreover , the Dio- cesan School Office has been directed to enlist the sup- port of the Sisters in this movement. There is a crying need to reawaken the Catholic conscience on the morals of dress. I pray that God may bless your work abundantly.” From the Diocese of Natchez , Bishop R. O. Gerow wrote; “I am very , very happy to encourage you and your workers in the fine S.D.S Modesty Crusade in which you are engaged. Certainly we have need for such a crusade in these modern times, perhaps more than at any time in many centuries. I shall be very happy for you to make known this crusade throughout our Dio- cese, particularly though the news letter that you ex- pect to publish.” From the Diocese of Richmond, Bishop Peter L. Ireton wrote; “Fours is an important work. It is impossible to exaggerate the need of having our young ladies realize that as Christians they cannot afford to dress like pagans and that once they sacrifice their ideals to the demands of the latest ‘style’, they lose much more than they gain. ‘Style’ is a passing fad, while Christian mo- desty has an everlasting appeal. With every blessing to you and your Crusade . . .” From the Diocese of St. Joseph, Bishop John P. Cody wrote; “I am taking up this matter with to discuss how our girls may participate in this very worthy project.” From the Diocese of Sioux City, Bishop Joseph M. Mueller wrote; “You are most welcome to continue the Crusade in the Sioux City Diocese and I earnestly pray that God ivill bless your efforts and cause them to promote abundant spiritual good.” From the Diocese of Savannah-Atlanta, Bishop Francis E. Hyland, wrote; “Pleased be assured that you have my cordial approval to promote the praiseworthy and indeed very necessary aims of the Crusade in the Catholic Schools of the Diocese. / shall have our Diocesan Superintend- ent of Schools address a letter on the Crusade to all our school superiors in order to enlist their interest and cooperation.” From the Diocese of Toledo, Bishop George J. Rehring wrote “We of the Diocese of Toledo are in full accord with the aims and objectives of the SDS Modesty Crusade. It will have whole-hearted cooperation from parish priests and teachers, both lay and religious. May God bless and reward your efforts in helping our women to understand and to fulfill the require- ments of the holy virtue of chastity and the protection and support its cultivation requires from the beautiful attitudes of modesty.” From the Diocese of Trenton, Bishop George W. Ahr wrote; “I am most heartily in accord with the purposes of the S.D.S. Modesty Crusade. I have asked the Super- intendent of Schools and the Diocesan Director of the Sodality to exert every effort to promote the Crusade in the Diocese.” “Only through united nationwide action will the battle be won.” From the Diocese of Wichita, Bishop Mark K. Carroll wrote; “I wish to order 1,000 of the blue leaflets. I intend to give this leaflet to all of the young ladies in our three Catholic High Schools.” From the Diocese of Yakima, Washington, Bishop Joseph P. Dougherty wrote; “This is to assure you that the S.D.S. Modesty Crusade has my heartfelt approval for the Diocese of Yakima. I shall do all that I can to promote the Crusade in the Catholic schools in the Diocese and also through our Confraternity of Christian Doctrine classes.” From the Diocese of Springfield, Illinois, Rev. John J. McGrath, C.Y.O. Director, wrote; “The Most Reverend Bishop has asked me to work with the Catholic High School Board and also with the young adulrs in regard to the S.D.S.

P. Leipzig of Baker, Oregon. 6 From the Diocese of Superior, Rev. Irving F. Klister, Episcopal Sec’y-, wrote; “Fe tire sending yon under separate cover a copy of the Superior Edition of the Catholic Herald-Citizen, our diocesan weekly, in which Mishap Albert G. Meyer gives approval anti urges support of the S.D.S. Modesty Campaign. You are given permission to quote the Bishop's approval of the S.D.S. Modesty Campaign and also to quote from this issue of our paper, on the subject.” Notice: (After the death of Archbishop Moses Kiley of Milwaukee, Bishop Albert G. Meyer was appointed by the Pope to the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. In 1956, on May 1, Archbishop Meyer issued his great pastoral letter on Decency and Modesty. In this outstanding statement of one of our most learned and zealous members of the magisterium of the Church, the basic teaching of the Catholic Faith is stated in regard to modesty as well as literature, dating, etc. While the pastoral letter does not specifically mention the S.D.S. Modesty Crusade, his previous approval and his words of encouragement to the organizations pro- moting modesty in dress are, we believe, one of the greatest contributions to the modern fight for Christian principles and the virtue of purity.) The following excerpts are taken from the Archbishop’s pastoral letter; “We do not believe that these organizations are creating oversensitiveness and confused con- sciences with regard to chastity, nor are they overemphasizing one aspect of virtue at the expense of others. We recognize that their zeal may at times lead them to some undue excess in the pro- motion of their eause, and we caution against such excess, urging them to he guided by the norms set forth in statements of the Holy Father and of their Bishops. We wish, nevertheless, to give every encouragement to such organized efforts, because it is only through such united efforts that most individuals can achieve the moral courage not to succumb to the tyranny of custom. Listen to these clear words of Pope Pius XII on this point: “In your association, you will find not only light hut strength . . . You must give yourselves wholeheartedly and conquer human respect. A group of girls who have reflected and prayed together will fearlessly accept a clear-cut attitude which one girl by herself would hardly dare to adopt.” Such united effort is necessary, the Holy Father further stated, because “you live in a world which is constantly forgetful of God and the supernatural, where the only interest of the crowd seems to he the satis- faction of temporal needs, well-being, pleasure, vanity” (July 17. 1954). Therefore, we do not look upon such organizations as pressure groups to impose u p o n others a moral code which these others do not wish to accept. We look upon them as associations of our own, who are determined through united action to he willing courageously to set an example in defense of traditional standards — who are willing to he different, as the early Chris- tians were different when they challenged the moral standards of the pagan world of Greece anti Rome; who are unwilling to sit idly by while the evil spirit of immodesty goes about brazenly seeking whom he may devour. We look upon them as particularly needed forms of Catholic Action.” Let these young people know that you have confidence in them. Let us all join together in this great S.D.S. Crusade for Modesty. . In unity there is strength! Further information will be printed regularly in the CISCA NEWS and will be sent occasionally to the Catholic High Schools of the nation. We rely on them to spread the S.D.S. Modesty Crusade by their strong promotion of it in their own areas on all levels. Correspond with the S.D.S. Crusade Headquarters and forward to them any reports of your activities in behalf of this Crusade. We shall be interested in reporting such activities as an encouragement to others who are determined to win a major victory for modesty. 7 PROMOTION OF THE S.D.S. MODESTY CRUSADE A well-integrated spiritual program is of prime importance in promoting the SDS Mod- esty Crusade. Daily prayers, Holy Hours, offering of daily or weekly Mass, frequent Com- munion, meditations on purity, etc., are all important in spreading and strengthening in the mind of each the Christian ideal of modesty. Especially, prayer is asked for those who are hard of heart, unwilling to cooperate, or blinded by prejudice or bad example. IN ADDITION, we urge student assemblies, rallies, discussions, poster and designing con- tests, slogan contests, parodies of popular songs, poems and other types of promotion. Skits, plays, fashion shows, SDS Dances and the like are excellent promotional ideas. Where tele- vision facilities are in easy reach, it may be possible to televise an SDS Fashion Show. Radio dis- cussions are very valuable for indoctrinating the public and explaining the reasons for this Crusade. Visit stores and ask their cooperation. Explain the movement to the local retailers. Insist on the standards to the letter, with absolutely no compromise. The success of this campaign de- pends on a rigid adherence to the norms that are the official Crusade Standards. A united front and an uncompromising fight for these standards will be our guarantee of success in giving to our girls and women truly stylish and beautiful clothing and, at the same time, guaranteeing that such garb will be definitely modest. (Any questions on local problems that are not covered in the set of standards or principle should be sub-mitted to the SDS Headquarters, 1122 S. Waba sit Avenue, Chicago 5, Illinois. Feature articles, cartoons and pictures should be carried in the school papers and the Modesty campaign should be well organized through some existing organization in your locality. Sodalists and Catholic Action groups should be contacted and asked to unite in selecting leaders and promoting both the principle and the SDS application of this principle to present-day conditions. SPECIAL TEAMS of qualified speakers from the colleges or high schools should be trained who will visit the many grammar schools and speak of the idealism of this movement to the eighth graders. Also, panel discussions should be arranged for parish youth groups, parent clubs, ladies societies, etc., so as to acquaint them with the organization and purpose and stand- ards of the SDS Crusade and to enlist their cooperation and support in this fight to win back America to the standards of Christ and Our Lady. The SDS Crusade is aimed at selling modesty, not clothes. Therefore, each girl must be made aware of her personal dignity, the need for purity of life and her place in the plan of God. During the Crusade, lags, signs and special advertising devices may be useful and necessary, but, once the SDS Standards and the ideals of Christian Modesty are understood thoroughly, every girl will be able to walk into any store that has modest fashions and select her own SDS wardrobe. We ask all to study the SDS Emblem so as to be able to recognize the official organiza- tion, its publications or letters. The symbolism contained is truly Christian. The shield of the crusader is mounted with the Cross — “//i this sign shall you conquer The rest refers to Mary as Queen, Guiding Light , Lily of Purity and Tower of Strength. We sincerely solicit your active support of this S.D.S. Modesty Crusade. Memorize the S.D.S. Standards and make them your standards. Secure copies of the Standards for distribution to your friends and acquaintances. Hundreds of Priests and Sisters have already been cooperating in this Crusade but it will require a much broader effort by thousands of Priests, Brothers and Sisters as well as by enthus ; astic laypeople and, especially, young women. Copies of the SDS leaflet “What About Modesty” are available from the S.D.S. Central Office - 1122 South Wabash Ave., Chicago 5, Illinois at one dollar per hundred. Copies of this larger brochure, containing the statements of the Bishops and moral theologians, are available from the same address at ten cents per copy or twenty copies for a dollar. 8
