Anything that could even remotely be seen as being sexy or homo-erotic ( perhaps even Top Cat) would be under severe scrutiny by the Decency Leagues, there were several. At times the Legion would turn its arc towards TV programs. sometimes too tolerant a view of divorce was a priming charge- I can recall a harmless nature documentary ( The Eagle and the HawK) that WA supposedly banned because the Narrator ( not acting in the usual sense)- was a Divorcee- this is how far out they could get. Anything remotely seen as poking fun at religion or saints- was off limits. the comic book Phantom Lady had to change the secret identity of their lead detective character, who was named ( and it is a good name) Joan Knight. ( She did not wear a metallic costume, by the way, but a cape over an evening gown, just those two words in close proximity= making fun of Joan of Arc. see, they overreacted.

What movies are banned by the Catholic Church?
The Legion of Decency was founded in l934 and took its mission seriously. they expanded into plays and literature as well as the prime target- Movies. among the last films to be given a C-(condemned) rating by the legion were - and this seems surprising : Rosemary"s Baby ( occult content) The Odd Couple ( homosexual theme) and somewhat surprisingly- both the play and screen versions of Grease. One character sings a song that claims she is ( Lousy with Virginity)- which can be taken as a sacrilegious comment! I know as I won two tickets to the play in a call-in radio contest- my Mother screamed ( that play was condemned by the Legion of Decency) and she made me give the tickets to a much older cousin and his lady friend. There was more to ( Grease) than jumping around an automobile on stage! . Please note that the Legion of Decency, and its successors, recommend movie ratings including the dreaded "C" but they are recommendations, the Catholic Church, itself, does NOT "ban" them, they expect grownup Christians to make their own decisions, and to bring up their children appropriately. The Legion of Decency, and its successors, is just offering advice to those serious about their faith.
