cal documents, both Catholic and
others, to portray the story, but
there has been some citicism.
William H. Mooing, a syndicated
writer whose column appears in
6 various Catholic publications, said
- i the picture “appears to have been
filmed less in defense of the Lu
theran position than attack against
1 the Catholic one.”
The Sunday Visitor, a Catholic
publication in St. Paul, said the
film “is evidently propaganda.”
Hollywood’s censor, the Motion
P ic t u r e Producers Association,
which bans ridicule of any religious
faith, approved the film uncondi-
