Our homes...offended or disturbed?

Pope Pius XII foresaw the dangers of this great gift of science:

"Television is directed to family groups so that at any hour in any place it is capable of moving the emotions, particularly those of youth. ...The family as the cell of society must be preserved, and public authorities have the duty of taking every precaution that the home be in no way offended or disturbed. Did not even the pagan Juvenal say that 'for the child one must have the utmost reverence'?"
