JUVENILE DELINQUENCY 237 Explanation of Legion Classifications A-I: Morally unobjectionably for general patronage. —These films are con- sidered to contain no material which would be morally dangerous to the average motion-picture audience, adults and children alike. A-II: Morally unobjectionable for adults. —These are films which in them- selves are morally harmless but which, because of subject matter or treatment, require maturity and experience if one is to witness them without danger of moral harm. While no definite age limit can be established for this group, the judgement of parents, pastors and teachers would be helpful in determining the decision in individual cases. B: Morally objectionable in part for all. —Films in this category are con- sidered to contain elements dangerous to Christian morals or moral standards. C: Condemned. —Condemned films are considered to be those which because of theme or treatment are what has been described by the Holy Father as "posi- tively bad." Separate classifiication. —A separate classification is given to certain films which, while not morally offensive, require some analysis and explanation as a protection to the uninformed against wrong interpretations and false conclu- sions.
