Hollywood, Morality, and the Pornography Debate

This chapter explores the historical tensions between Hollywood and the Catholic Church, focusing on the 1930s production code aimed at reducing obscenity. It examines the cultural impact of declining standards post-Vatican II, the normalization of pornography, and its effects on societal views and relationships today. The discussion also addresses the moral implications of pornography consumption, the challenges posed by modern digital spaces, and the ongoing debate around free speech and obscenity.
