Objection: Though a
handsomely mounted period
piece, this film about the
initiation Qf an innocent boy
into the depraved society of
18th century French
artistocracy concentrates on
suggestiveness and titillation
at the expense of any
meaningful comment, satirical
or other.
I’ll Never Forget What’s ’Is
Name (Regional Film
Distributors) Universal)
Objection: This film is
seriously delinquent in its
introduction of a sequence of
cUnnilingual sex which can
only be seen as yet another
instance of the game of
one-upmanship as it is played
today by some movie-makers
in the name of free
expression. Because of this
salacious “first” in allegedly
responsible film-making
Universal Pictures, Inc. has
been refused an MPAA Code

SAN FRANCISCO (RNS) -
Teachers of religion, “hobbling
along on pre- Vatican II
crutches,” should either update
themselves or get out of teaching
religion, delegates to the 65 th
annual National Catholic
Educational Association
convention were told.
“We have come a long way,”
said Father George T. Montague,
S.M., “in the past five years
toward giving religion teachers
real academic theological
training. But there are still a lot
of .religion teachers hobbling
along on pre-Vatican II crutches,
who are really doing a disservice
to the Church and their
students.”
“These teachers ought either to
update themselves, preferably by
going back to school, or get out
of teaching religion. Religion
poorly taught does more harm
than religion not taught at all,”
he declared.
Father Montague, a member of
the theology faculty at St. Mary’s
University in San Antonio, Tex.,
was a member of a panel which
discussed “Freedom or Chaos in
Religious Education?”
Other panelists were Sister
Juanita Morgan of St. Hubert’s
high school in Philadelphia and
Father Frank McQuilkin, O.
Praem., of San Francisco.
In discussing the formation of
relgious teachers, Father
Montague urged that mistakes of
the past be avoided.
“One of the chief errors, it
seems to me,” he said, “was the
assumption of the doctrinal
monolith. Catholicism, we are
told, is all of one piece. You’ve
got to take it all or nothing.
“The best religion teacher I
ever had in high school cited the
statement of Alphonse
Ratisbonne that every detail in
Catholicism is so important that
if you question or reject the
Miraculous Medal, you are really
no longer a Catholic.
“And from the amount of time
and emphasis we placed on
certain things like Fatima or the
Shroud of Turin, we got (and
gave) the impression that the
Catholic faith is a structure of
equally important truths, not a
living tree where roots could be
distinguished from leaves and the
trunk from moss. The militancy
of Catholicism was measured by
the intensity with which we clung
to the most minute periphera.”
Father Montague insisted that
the only effective way for a
religion teacher to update himself
would be to go back to school.
He stressed that only a full
theological or catechetical
program “has any chance of
giving the religion teacher the
perspective which he needs both
for his own assimilation of the
material and the balance which a
pastoral responsibility to his
students demands.”
