I grew up in the Catholic Church when Father Knows Best and Ozzie and Harriet were the social norms. When Lassie was a superhero and Leave it to Beaver morals taught valuable lessons through the TV. It was a time when Sherriff AndyTaylor could disarm a con man or an occasional bad guy without the use of deadly force. It was also a time when Catholic priests were held in high esteem by their congregations, and when American Catholics actually revered the Pope and followed his encyclicals.
