PORNO BUSINESS SEEN SHIFTING TO MOVIES
Are Wages Of Sin Declining?
By John Maher
WASHINGTON (NC) -
The wages of sin are
declining, at least in some
places.
The pornography business,
expected to boom after the
President’s Commission on
Obscenity and Pornography
last year recommended
relaxing restrictions, appears
to be declining in some areas.
Stanley M. Dietz, an
attorney representing the
owners of a number of
“adult” bookstores in the
Washington, D.C. area, said
profits are down and his
clients will “start having
trouble paying rents within
two years.”
On the other hand,
Inspector Walter R. Bishop,
director of the D.C. police
department’s morals division,
said, “I don’t know of any
great decrease in bookstores.”
As of last March, there were
37 “adult” bookstores in
Washington, four less than in
January, Bishop said. More
recent figures were not
available.
Most Baltimore porno-shop
owners or managers
interviewed for NC News said
sales of pornographic books,
magazines and movies have
fallen off in the past few
months. The manager of the
Gayety Bookstore, on
Baltimore’s gaudy “Block,”
said sales in his store were off
“almost 100 percent from
last year.”
“When dirty books used to
be sold under the counter,
people couldn’t buy enough
of them,” said Gayety.
“When they can buy them
legitimate, they don’t want
them. Those who don’t like
this business have done the
best thing they could have
done-leave it alone.”
A number of New York
theaters, newsstands and
bookstores dealing in
pornographic films and
literature have reported
declines in business. One
pornographic bookstore on
42nd Street that was grossing
about $10,000 a week one
year ago was doing about half
that much business this
August.
The pornography business
has been growing rapidly in
Chicago in the past few
months, however, primarily
in theaters that have begun
importing hard-core
pornographic films from the
West Coast.
The Festival Theater on
Chicago’s North Side, which
had been showing foreign and
legitimate art films a year and
ANGLICAN-ROMAN CATHOLIC
Clarifies Commission
Agreement On Eucharist
LONDON (NC) - The
joint Anglican-Roman
Catholic Commission
affirmed that the “bread and
wine, in the Eucharistic
mystery, ‘become the body
and blood of Christ,’ ”
according to a Catholic
member of the commission.
Auxiliary Bishop Basil C.
Butler of Westminster
clarified the commission’s
earlier statement and
explained the difficulties
encountered by the group.
After its meeting at
Windsor, the commission said
that it had reached
“substantial agreement on the
doctrine of the Eucharist,”
but did not say what that
agreement was.
Bishop Butler said here
that the agreement was called
substantial because it was
something less than full.
But, he added, “most and
probably all of the
commission’s members
believe that this substantial
agreement could justify some
measure of ‘intercommu-
nion’-if there were no other
objections or obstacles in the
way. But such obstacles exist
and are, at present, serious.”
Bishop Butler, chairman of
the board of governors at St.
Edmund’s College in Ware, 25
miles north of London, said
that commission members
believe in common that “the
Eucharistic action is an act of
worship addressed to God by
the Christian community.”
They also, he said, “agreed
that it is an action in which
Christ, crucified and risen,
offers Himself to His
believing People.
“Against this agreed
background the commission
had to pay special attention
to two doctrines, each of
which has been the focus of
controversy in the past: the
doctrine of the Eucharist as a
sacrifice, and that of the
presence of Christ as in some
way specially established and
given through and in the
sacramental elements, or in
other words the doctrine of
the real presence.”
The commission, he said,
“had no difficulty agreeing
that Christ’s redeeming death
on the cross was the one,
perfect and sufficient
sacrifice for the sins of the
world, and that there cannot
be any repetition or addition
to it. Protestants have often
denied, but the Catholic
Church has no wish to affirm,
that the Eucharist is a
repetition of Calvary. How,
then, can Catholics speak of
‘the sacrifice of the Mass.?”
The commission decided,
Bishop Butler said, to stress
the Eucharist as more than a
mere memorial of a past
event but as “a ritual
memorial of it: ‘Do this in
memory of me.’ ”
The commission, he said,
was very explicit on the real
presence of Christ’s body and
blood in the Eucharist. “It
affirms that the bread and
wine, in the Eucharistic
mystery, ‘become the body
and blood of Christ,’ and this'
in order that, through
receiving Holy Communion,
believers may be united in
communion with Christ.”
The commission, Bishop
Butler said, added that it is
through the anaphora (the
prayer of Consecration or
Canon of the Mass) that the
bread and wine become the
body and blood of Christ.
The word “transubstantia-
tion,” however, still
presented difficulties, the
bishop said.
(The Roman Catholic
doctrine of transubstantiation
says that through the words
■ of consecration at Mass the
substance of bread and wine
become the body and blood
of Christ.)
The 39 articles of the
Church of England denounce
transubstantiation as a
dangerous deceit.
The commission abstained
from determining whether
the transubstantiation that
the articles denounce is the
same as that which the
Council of Trent affirmed in
the 16th century, Bishop
Butler said.
It consigned the whole
subject, he explained, to a
footnote which says that the
word “transubstantiation” is
commonly used in the
Roman Catholic Church to
indicate a change in the
“inner reality” of the
sacramental elements, and
that in contemporary Roman
Catholic theology it is not
understood as explaining how
this change takes place.
“I think that there was a
feeling among our Anglican
members that this restricted
interpretation of the word
did not go beyond what they
were prepared to affirm, but
that for historical and
contemporary reasons they
could not at present accept
the word itself in a statement
of Anglican belief.”
Apart from the word
“transubstantiation,” the
bishop said he feels that the
commission’s “substantial
agreement” is almost
“full”--with one exception.
“I speak here as an
individual member, and can
in no way commit my
colleagues,” he warned before
enlarging on his reservations.
“We Catholics of the
Western rite have now for
centuries drawn devotional
conclusions from the doctrine
of the real presence. We have
expressed our adoration of
the body and blood of Christ
not only in the course of the
Eucharist itself but, after the
Mass is over, in, for instance,
the service of Benediction
and by genuflecting when
passing in front of the Blessed
Sacrament reserved in
tabernacle or aumbry.
“I sensed a strong
resistance to such
‘extra-liturgical cultus’ within
the commission, and this
leads me to wonder whether
there is not actually some
doctrinal point here which
needs further discussion,
although the resistance may
have been practical rather
than doctrinal. However, I am
satisfied that our agreement is
very substantial indeed, and if
the statement could be
approved by the authorities
of our respective churches a
historic step would indeed
have been taken.”
a half ago to an average
nightly audience of “three or
four people,” an employee
said, was “barely making
enough to pay for the
candy.”
“Now the owners are
making incredible amounts of
money,” he added.
The Festival’s owners have
been so successful, the
employee said, that they have
opened an adult bookstore
next to the theater, another
theater dealing primarily in
homosexual films, and a
private club.
Since spring, at least five
other North Side
neighborhood theaters have
begun advertising “West
Coast films.”
Detroit’s adult bookstores
and pornographic movie
houses are estimated to be
making $100,000 to
$250,000 a week and grossing
$5-10 million yearly. Most of
the bookstores collect 50
cents from every customer
before he can enter the area
of the display racks. The fee,
to discourage the browser,
goes toward any purchase.
Police in Los Angeles said
they see no sign that the
pornography business is
hurting economically. Capt.
Jack Wilson, commander of
the administrative vice
division, said there was
“terrific money invested and
they’ve been in business a
long time.”
He said the producers of
pornography and their
investors are shifting
attention from printed matter
to movies.
In the Miami area, a
campaign against
pornography is apparently
making headway. In the past
six months, members of a
Task Force on Pornography,
which cooperates with the
Dade County Organized
Crime Bureau and municipal
police departments, have
reported obtaining hundreds
of judgments against
operators of pornographic
bookstores and theaters.

Reviews
Sunday, September 26, 7:30
p.m. - BANDOLERO! (1968) -
Uneven Western starring Jimmy
Stewart and Dean Martin as
brothers going through life on the
shady side after a dirt poor start,
finally redeeming themselves in a
battle against Mexican cutthroats.
First part is the best, in which
Stewart poses as the hangman
who was to execute brother Dee
and his gang, helps them escape,
robs a bank and joins their dash
for the border. Racquel Welch is
Maria, another loser who winds
up with the sturdy sheriff (George
Kennedy), and Andrew Prine is
very good as his deputy.
Interesting characters, some sly
anti-hanging humor and refreshing
attention to the proper treatment
of women are among the high
points, but questionable language
and an excess of violence toward
the finale place the film off limits
for a wider audience. (A- III)
(CBS)
Sunday, September 26, 9:00
p.m. - THE SILENCERS (1966)
— Dean Martin (again!) gallumphs
his way through the spy-spoof
routine in this shabby imitation
of the James Bond films. Martin,
playing Matt Helm, free-lance
superspy, spends most of his time
cracking heads and getting his
own bent occasionally. When not
doing that, he chases an
assortment of comely female spies
around swimming pools, sofas,
etc. The comic level is uniformly
low, and so is the moral tone. Not
recommended, even cleaned up
for TV. (B) (ABC)
Monday, September 27, 9:00
p.m. - WHERE WERE YOU
WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT
OUT? (1968) - The incredible
power failure that darkened the
East Coast some three years ago
could easily have furnished
enough material for a great
comedy. In the case at hand,
however, it serves only a
background interest for what is
essentially a typical routine Doris
Day vehicle revovling around a
woman’s honor seemingly
compromised but as always
untarnished in the final reel. The
film offered an opportunity to
spoof this sort of thing (Miss Day
is an actress appearing in a play
called The Constant Virgin) but it
unfortunately refused to tamper
with a proven formula. Robert
Morse takes comedy honors as an
embezzler caught in the contrived
circumstances of the plot and
Terry Thomas has some fun as a
conniving Hungarian producer.
The film was adapted from a play
by Claude Magnier and Hy
Averback’s direction succeeds in
injecting intermittent
entertainment in the proceedings
especially scenes of New York
durning the Great Blackout.

Thursday, September 30, 9:00
p.m. - HOW TO SAVE A
MARRI AGE . . .AND RUIN
YOUR LIFE! (1968) - Boudoir
comedy with Dean Martin and
Stella Stevens (who appeared in
Sunday’s THE SILENCERS on
ABC), Eli Wallach and Anne
Jackson (a real-life Mr. & Mrs.).
Most of the action revolves
around the fact that the two lead
males suffer from dull marriages
and are keeping girl friends on the
side. Given this dubious premise,
the screenplay and direction are
lively and satirical enough to
warrant an adult acceptability, for
those interested. (A-lll) (CBS)
Friday, October 1, 8:30 p.m.-
RIVER OF MYSTERY - A
“world premiere” offering,
starring action-pic veteran Vic
Morrow, with Claude Akins,
Louise Sorel, Edmond O’Brien.
O’Brien plays a diamond hunter
named Twichell (the thought of
sparklers makes him nervous),
who hires two American
explosives experts (Morrow and
Akins) under false pretenses for a
foray into the wilds of South
America. A South American
revolutionary leader (Nico
Mirandos) also has eyes for the
pair’s demolition talents. Sounds
promising as hoked-up
action-adventure entertainment.
Friday, October 1, 9:00 p.m.—
THE DEADLY HUNT - Made for
television; starring Tony
Franciosa, Peter Lawford,
Anjanette Comer, and Jim
Hutton. Hutton and Miss Comer
play a young and wealthy married
couple out hunting in the deep
woods who find themselves (a)
the intended prey of a pair of
hired killers, Lawford and
Franciosa, and (b) smack in the
path of an oncoming forest-fire.
Plenty of surface excitment, if
little in the way of dramatic
depth. (CBS)
Saturday, October 2, 9:00 p.m.
- TELL THEM WILLIE BOY IS
HERE (1969) - Willie Boy
(Robert Blake) was a Paiute
Indian on a California reservation
at the turn of the century who
was caught between tribal
tradition and the white man’s law
when he killed the father of his
sweetheart (Katharine Ross) The
ingredients for an engrossing
examination of an episode from
our past would seem to be here:
the clash of two cultures, the
injustice of the dominant one,
and the human fallibility on both
sides. They are largely left
unexplored, however, both on the
Indian side and in the abrasive
relationship between the fair
minded sheriff (Robert Bedford)
and the socially advanced but
personally frustrated reservation
doctor (Susan Clark). What
emerges instead is a more or less
routine Westerrn chase movie
with an unhappy ending. (A-lll)

CONFIRMA TION
Details On New Rite
VATICAN CITY (NC) -
Pope Paul VI has revised the
rite of Confirmation, trying
to make it more significant
by linking it closer to
Baptism and Communion.
The new rite, released in its
Latin text on Sept. 14 is to
be translated by local
bishops’ conferences and
confirmed by the Vatican. Its
use will be mandatory as of
Jan. 1, 1973.
Major changes from the old
rite include the laying on of
hands by the bishop on each
candidate as a ritual separate
from the anointing with
chrism, the elimination of the
practice of the bishop
slapping the cheek of a
candidate, and a change in
the prayer accompanying the
conferral of the sacrament.
The old prayer was: “I sign
you with the sign of the cross
and confirm you with the
chrism of salvation. In the
name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy
Spirit.”
In the new ritual the
bishop will say: “Accept the
sign of the gift of the Holy
Spirit,” a prayer that has long
been used in the Eastern-rite
church.
In a letter explaining the
changes, Pope Paul said:
“Although the laying of
hands on the candidates
which is done with the
prescribed prayer before the
anointing, does not belong to
the essence of the
sacramental rite, it is
nevertheless to be held in
high esteem, in that it
contributes to the full
perfection of the same rite
and to a clearer
understanding of the
sacrament.”
The Pope’s letter on
Confirmation reform took
the form of an apostolic
constitution entitled “Divinae
Consortium.” It was dated
Aug. 15, 1971, but was not
published by the Vatican
until Sept. 13.
Explaining the change in
the formal prayer, Pope Paul
said:
“We have indeed examined
with due consideration the
dignity of the venerable
formula in use in the Latin
Church. But we judge
preferable the very ancient
formula belonging to the
Eastern rite, whereby the gift
of the Holy Spirit Himself is
expressed and the outpouring
of the spirit which took place
on the day of Pentecost is
recalled . . .
At a news conference Sept.
13, the day before the new
ritual was released, Msgr.
Aime Georges Martimort, a
consultor for the
Congregation for Divine
Worship said that the age for
the conferral of Confirmation
will be left up to the decision
of local bishops’ conferences.
In most of the
English-speaking world,
Confirmation is usually
received in the early teens,
but practices differ widely
elsewhere. In Europe,
Confirmation is generally
administered at the same time
a child makes his First
Communion, somewhere
about the age of seven. In
other areas, Confirmation has
been administered at the time
of Baptism.
Msgr. Martimort noted that
in cases of adult Baptism the
newly baptised can be
permitted to receive
Confirmation and First
Communion at the same
time.
In explaining the changes
in the old rite, Pope Paul
likened the relation of
Baptism, Confirmation and
Communion to the natural
life processes of birth,
development and
nourishment.
