Morality in Media, Inc. (MIM) was launched by an interfaith group of clergy in the Upper Eastside of Manhattan (NYC) in 1962 after grade school children were caught with hardcore pornography. Now national in scope, MIM works through constitutional means to curb traffic in obscenity and uphold standards of decency in media. Common sense, anecdotal
evidence and social science research all point to a link between obscenity and indecency and harmful consequences.
In 1968, one of the clergy, Fr. Morton A. Hill, was appointed by President Johnson to serve on the Presidential Commission on Obscenity and Pornography. In 1970, the Commission issued a report recommending that obscenity be legalized for consenting adults. Fr. Hill and another Commissioner issued a minority report describing the majority report as a “Magna Carta for the pornographer” and, in so doing, helped save obscenity laws. President Nixon and Congress also rejected the majority report, and the Supreme Court later cited the Hill-Link minority report in upholding obscenity laws.
