...seminude show girls in Las Vegas. I don't think a Roman Catholic bishop has a right to tell night club owners to "dress" their performers. In France (nearly 90% Catholic), seminude show girls have been parading in nightclubs for umpteen years; French bishops don't insist on them covering...
...each American citizen being a full citizen . . .

They want us to concede as though we proposed it, to submit as we would to our own self-imposed directives. What are we to do? Everyone well realizes that little by little, outward resistance will be weakened, that eventually, only one's innermost, secret adherence to faith will be possible...
