DANGER TO MORALS
POPE’S WARNING WOMEN’S NEW STATUS • INFLUENCES CONDEMNED CIO a.m.) VATICAN CITY. April 30. Women’s morals were endangered by the profound change in their status, said His Holiness the Pope in an address to pilgrims visting Rome for the beatification of Maria Goretti, who was murdered in 1902. “In this century the female world has been taken from the reserved and retiring mode of life of the preceding ages and thrown into all walks of public life, even including military service,” added His,Holiness. “If it is not desired that these profound changes should cause very grave consequences to women's religion and morals, those intimate and supernatural virtues which shine so brightly in the newly beatified must be cultivated. “Woe to scandalmongers, woe to those corrupters of novels, newspapers, periodicals, theatres and films, and of immodest fashions.”
