Proclamation of Truth by Learned and Distinguished Men |
"For
there is nothing which We believe to be more needful than that
truth should find defenders more powerful and more numerous than
the enemies it has to face; nor is there anything which is better
calculated to impress the masses with respect for truth than to
see it boldly proclaimed by learned and distinguished men."

Catholics
Should Not Refuse to Administer Public Affairs |
"Catholics
skilled in public affairs and adequately enlightened in faith and
Christian doctrine should not refuse to administer public affairs
since by doing this in a worthy manner they can both further the
common good and at the same time prepare the way for the
Gospel." (Second Vatican Council)

The
Entertainment & Communic- ations
Industries |
"There
is a duty of conscience binding the spectators who, each time they
buy a ticket of admission, - as it were casting a vote - make
choice of good or bad motion pictures; a similar duty, and even
more so, binds those who manage movie theatres or distribute the
films." (Pope Pius XII, "Miranda Prorsus", 1957)
"Television
personnel - executives and managers, producers and directors,
writers and researchers, journalists, on-camera performers and
technical workers - all have serious moral responsibilities to the
families that make up such a large part of their audience. In
their professional and personal lives, those who work in
television should be committed to the family as society's basic
community of life, love and solidarity. Recognizing the influence
of the medium in which they work, they should promote sound moral
and spiritual values, and avoid 'anything that could harm the
family in its existence, its stability, its balance and its
happiness' including 'eroticism or violence, the defense of
divorce or of antisocial attitudes among young people'" (Pope
John Paul II)
"Since,
therefore, there is question of bringing the Motion Picture
industry into line with sounder policies, that is no slight
responsibility which rests on the actors; they, indeed,
remembering their dignity as human beings and as experienced
artists, should know that they are not permitted to lend their
talents to parts in plays, or to be connected with the making of
films, which are contrary to sound morals. But an actor, having
gained a famous name by his talent and skill, ought to use that
renown which he has justly won in such a way that he inspires the
mind of the public with noble sentiments; in particular, he should
remember to give a notable example of virtue to others in his
private life. When addressing professional actors on one occasion
in the past, We made this assertion: 'Everyone can see that, in
the presence of a throng of people listening open-mouthed to your
words, applauding and shouting, your own feelings are stirred and
filled with a certain joy and exaltation'. But if it can be said
that someone is fully justified in feeling these emotions, yet it
does not follow that Christian actors may accept from their
audience expressions of praise which savor of a type of idolatry,
since, in this case also, Our Savior's words apply: 'So let your
light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father Who is in heaven'." (Pope Pius XII,
"Miranda Prorsus", 1957 A.D.)
"As
to the motion picture industry itself, We exhort the Bishops of
all countries, but in particular you, Venerable Brethren, to
address an appeal to those Catholics who hold important positions
in this industry. Let them take serious thought of their duties
and of the responsibility which they have as children of the
Church to use their influence and authority for the promotion of
principles of sound morality in the films which they produce or
aid in producing. There are surely many Catholics among the
executives, directors, authors, and actors who take part in this
business, and it is unfortunate that their influence has not
always been in accordance with their Faith and with their ideals.
You will do well, Venerable Brethren, to pledge them to bring
their profession into harmony with their conscience as respectable
men and followers of Jesus Christ." (Pope Pius XI, "Vigilanti
Cura", 1936)
"A
special responsibility for the proper use of the means of social
communication rests on journalists, writers, actors, designers,
producers exhibitors, distributors, operators, sellers, critics -
all those, in a word, who are involved in the making and
transmission of communications in any way whatever. It is clear
that a very great responsibility rests on all of these people in
today's world: they have power to direct mankind along a good path
or an evil path by the information they impart and the pressure
they exert." (Second Vatican Council)
"We
are well aware of the magnitude of the difficulties which today
confront those engaged in the Motion Picture industry because of -
in addition to other considerations - the great increase in the
use of television. Yet, even when confronted by these difficult
circumstances, they must remember that they are forbidden in
conscience to present film programs which are contrary to the
Faith and sound morals, or to enter into contracts by which they
are forced to present shows of this kind. But since in many
countries, men engaged in this industry have bound themselves not
to exhibit, for any consideration, film programs which might be
harmful or evil, We trust that the excellent initiative will
spread to all parts of the world, and that no Catholic in cinema
management will hesitate to follow such sane and salutary
proposals." (Pope Pius XII, "Miranda Prorsus",
1957)
"We
therefore give a fatherly warning to Catholic film directors and
producers, not to permit films to be made which are opposed to the
Faith or Christian morals; but if, - which God forbid - this
should happen, it is the duty of the Bishops to admonish them,
and, if necessary, to impose appropriate sanctions. But We are
convinced that, to bring the Motion Pictures to the heights of the
"ideal film", nothing is more effective than for those
engaged in film production to act in conformity with the
commandments of Christian law. Let those responsible for making
films approach the sources from which all the highest gifts flow,
let them master the Gospel teaching, and make themselves familiar
with the Church's traditional doctrine on the certainties of life,
on happiness and virtue, on sorrow and sin, on body and soul, on
social problems and human desires; they will then obtain new and
excellent plots which they may adopt, and they will feel
themselves inspired by a fresh enthusiasm to produce works of
lasting value." (Pope Pius XII, "Miranda Prorsus",
1957)
"The
counsel which We have given to theatre managers We wish to apply
also to the distributors who, since they sometimes contribute
financially to the making of the actual films, have obviously a
greater opportunity and, consequently, are bound by a more serious
obligation, of giving their support to reputable films. For
distribution cannot be in any sense reckoned as a technical
function of the business, since films - as We have often stated -
are not only to be regarded as articles for sale, but also, and
this is more important, to be considered as food for the mind and,
as it were, a means of spiritual and moral training for the
ordinary people. So distributors and hirers share to the same
degree in merit and responsibility according as something good or
evil results from the screen." (Pope Pius XII, "Miranda
Prorsus", 1957)
"Moreover,
We desire to extend Our thanks to all upright directors and
producers of radio programs for their fair assessment of the needs
of the Church to which many of them have borne testimony, either
by freely assigning a suitable time for the propagation of God's
Word, or by supplying the necessary equipment. By this way of
acting, they are certainly sharing in the special reward of
apostolic work, even though it is being carried out over the air,
according to Our Lord's promise: 'Who receives a prophet in the
name of a prophet, will receive the reward of a prophet'."
(Pope Pius XII, "Miranda Prorsus", 1957)
"But
We earnestly desire, Venerable Brethren, that these technical
instruments, by which eyes and ears are easily and pleasantly
attracted to events happening far away, should be employed to a
particular end, namely, to provide men with a broader cultural
background in the knowledge necessary for the fulfillment of their
duties, and above all, in Christian principles. If these
principles are neglected, there can be no progress worthy of the
name, even in merely human matters. We desire, therefore, to pay
due tribute of praise to all those who, whether by films or sound
broadcasting or television shows, direct their efforts towards
this most honorable goal." (Pope Pius XII, "Miranda
Prorsus", 1957)
"[P]lay
is necessary for the intercourse of human life. Now whatever is
useful to human intercourse may have a lawful employment ascribed
to it. Wherefore the occupation of play-actors, the object of
which is to cheer the heart of man, is not unlawful in itself; nor
are they in a state of sin provided that their playing be
moderated, namely that they use no unlawful words or deeds in
order to amuse, and that they do not introduce play into undue
matters and seasons. And although in human affairs, they have no
other occupation in reference to other men, nevertheless in
reference to themselves, and to God, they perform other actions
both serious and virtuous, such as prayer and the moderation of
their own passions and operations, while sometimes they give alms
to the poor. Wherefore those who maintain them in moderation do
not sin but act justly, by rewarding them for their services. on
the other hand, if a man spends too much on such persons, or
maintains those comedians who practice unlawful mirth, he sins as
encouraging them in their sin. Hence [St.] Augustine says (Tractatus
100 in Joannis) that 'to give one's property to comedians is a
great sin, not a virtue'; unless by chance some play-actor were in
extreme need, in which case one would have to assist him, for
[St.] Ambrose says (De Officiis ministorum; quoted in Canon Pasce,
distinction 86): 'Feed him that dies of hunger; for whenever thou
canst save a man by feeding him, if thou hast not fed him, thou
hast slain him.'" (St. Thomas Aquinas, Doctor of the Church
and "greatest theologian in the history of the Church")

Severe
Judgment For Rulers |
"We
must plead with God to grant that the rulers of nations may love
wisdom, so that the severe judgment of the Holy Spirit may never
fall on them: 'Because being ministers of His Kingdom you have not
judged rightly, nor kept the law of Justice, nor walked according
to the will of God; horribly and speedily will he appear to you;
for a most severe judgment shall be for them that bear rule. For
to him that is little, mercy shall be granted; but the mighty
shall be mightily tormented. For God will not except any man's
person, neither will he stand in awe of any man's greatness; for
he made the little and the great, and he hath equally care of all.
But a greater punishment is ready for the more mighty. To you,
therefore, O Kings, these are my words, that you may learn wisdom
and not fall from it.'" (Pope Pius XII, "Mystici
Corporis Christi", 1943)

Those
Who Govern Should be Held in High Estimation |
"Some
there must be who devote themselves to the work of the
commonwealth, who make the laws or administer justice, or whose
advice and authority govern the nation in times of peace, and
defend it in war. Such men clearly occupy the foremost place in
the State, and should be held in highest estimation, for their
work concerns most nearly and effectively the general interests of
the community. Those who labor at a trade or calling do not
promote the general welfare in such measure as this, but they
benefit the nation, if less directly, in a most important
manner." (Pope Leo XIII, "Rerum Novarum", 1891)

"The
apostle admonishes that those who sin publicly are to be reproved
openly. When, therefore, any one has, publicly and in the sight of
many, committed a crime, whereby there is no doubt that others
have been offended and scandalized; there must needs be publicly
imposed upon him a penance suitable to the measure of his guilt;
that so those whom he has allured to evil manners by his example,
he may bring back to an upright life by the testimony of his
amendment. The bishop, however, may, when he judges it more
expedient, commute this kind of public penance into one that is
secret." (Council of Trent)

Christian virtue." (Pope Leo XIII, "Immortale Dei",

Misc. |
"[G]lory
will be the downfall of those who think earthly things are
important." (Pope Clement XIII, "A Quo Die", 1758)
"For
can any thing be more low and debased than those who grovel in
riches and power, and count them great things?" (St. John
Chrysostom, Doctor of the Church)
"Indeed
it is greatly to be desired that those men would rightly esteem
and would make due provision for life everlasting, whose industry
or talents or rank have put it in their power to shape the course
of human events. But alas! we see with sorrow that such men too
often proudly flatter themselves that they have conferred upon
this world as it were a fresh lease of life and prosperity,
inasmuch as by their own energetic action they are urging it on to
the race for wealth, to a struggle for the possession of
commodities which minister to the love of comfort and display. And
yet, whithersoever we turn, we see that human society, if it be
estranged from God, instead of enjoying that peace in its
possessions for which it had sought, is shaken and tossed like one
who is in the agony and heat of fever; for while it anxiously
strives for prosperity, and trusts to it alone, it is pursuing an
object that ever escapes it, clinging to one that ever eludes the
grasp. For as men and states alike necessarily have their being
from God, so they can do nothing good except in God through Jesus
Christ, through whom every best and choicest gift has ever
proceeded and proceeds." (Pope Leo XIII, "Mirae
Caritatis", 1902)

BIG Book of Latin Activities For Catholics
Beginning - Intermediate (Vol. 1)
"Suitable For Children Or
Adults!" ~ "Perfect For Home Schoolers!"
+ + +
As many faithful Catholics already know,
the majestic
Latin language – the 'official language' of the Catholic Church –
promotes unity, helps safeguard the purity of doctrine, connects us with
our Catholic ancestors, allows us to pray in "one voice", and even ties
back to the inscription on the Cross which was written in Hebrew, Latin,
and Greek. The Latin language is still used today in the precious
treasure that is the
Traditional Latin ('Tridentine') Mass, in 'everyday speech' (much of
English is derived from Latin), in mottos, in specialized fields, and in
educational endeavors. It has been shown that the study of Latin brings
many benefits. "And, Latin is truly the language of heaven!"
If you enjoy Latin, you may be glad to know that
this full-sized (8.5" x 11"), tradition-minded publication features an
assortment of activity types related to Latin (including: word searches,
crosswords, coloring activities, challenges, fill-ins, spelling bee,
quizzes, unscrambles, true/false, multiple choice, matching, cross-offs,
circling, word associations, translation exercises, and more...), and
treats of various topics (including: common Latin words, Latin language
facts, Latin grammar, nouns & verbs, abbreviations,
phrases / sayings / mottos, prefixes, cardinal numbers, grammatical gender,
inflection, word roots, diacritics / accenting, pronunciation, Latin
prayers / hymns, Scripture verses, Catholic phrases, and more...).
