Cinema at the service of the gospel

Blessed  Ablerione on the Cinema in 1944

Recommend highly the viewing of motion pictures that are truly worthwhile.

In this way the public will be able to go to the cinema without any misgivings; people will prefer to see good motion pictures and, as a result, these will acquire prestige for the producers, the distributors and also for the owners of the movie theaters.

Generally speaking, it is not advisable to make a lot of noise about immoral motion pictures or to organize protests. This could produce the opposite effect to the one desired.

In sum: the press placed at the service of the cinema apostolate and in collaboration with it makes it stronger, in view of the glory of God and the benefit of the spiritual life of people.
