After their annual meeting, American Catholic bishops announced that the state and the church had the right to censor media communications (books, newspapers, television, radio, film, etc.) for the sake of the public good. "Our juridical system has been dedicated from the beginning to the principle of minimal restraint. [Sanctions are invoked] only insofar as is necessary to safeguard public morals."
1958
The United States State Department declared that Roman Catholic bishops who vote in papal elections do not thereby lose their American citizenship because such elections are not "political" in nature.

Reports from the Federal Election Commission reveal that Jerry Falwell's "I Love America Committee," a political action committee created in 1983, was a flop. The PAC raised $485,000 in its first year, but had spent $413,000 in the process.

Jerry Falwell announced that he was resigning as head of the Moral Majority, retiring from politics completely, because he wanted to spend more time with his Thomas Road Baptist Church in Lynchburg, Virginia, and his television ministry.

Religion in Public Schools: An amendment to the US constitution was introduced to congress by Representative Ernest Istook (R-OK).

1997
In order to relieve some Liberty University's debt, Jerry Falwell accepted $3.5 million from a group representing Sun Myung Moon.

1998
