This extensive document argues that Hollywood has been a battleground for moral and ideological influence, primarily between Roman Catholic, liberal, and Communist forces. It posits that the Jesuit Order strategically exerted significant control over the film industry, particularly during Hollywood's "Golden Age," using cinema as a tool for religious propaganda and to promote a specific "Roman Catholic morality." However, this influence waned over time, leading to a rise in liberal and Communist ideologies within Hollywood, often at odds with traditional Roman Catholic values. The text criticizes the shifting tactics of the Roman Catholic Church, especially the Jesuits, for adapting their approach to media influence in a "liberalized" manner, even as it simultaneously condemns the increasingly immoral content of films and the perceived spiritual complacency of professing Christians who consume them. Ultimately, the source portrays Hollywood as a powerful, yet often corrupting, force that has subtly shaped public opinion and morals, often to the detriment of what the author considers true biblical Christianity.
