Roman Church Uses Moving Pictures

The methods by which the Roman Church seeks to advance her interests and carry forward her work are myriad. She passes by no opportunity by which she can bring herself into the limelight of public vision, and focus upon herself the gaze of the multitude. The Christian Standard of Oct. 26, 1912, tells how Rome is using moving-picture shows for this purpose. One film represents a poor widow about to be evicted from her mortgaged home. Appeal is made to the village priest, who, at the last moment, hurriedly enters and pays off the mortgage. Other pictures equally as effective in enlisting admiration for the benefactions of the Roman Church are exhibited. Verily she becomes "all things to all men" in the promotion of her cause in the earth.
