Title: "Modern" Christ featured on new magazine.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-46209 ‘MODERN’ CHRIST FEATURED ON NEW MAGAZINE ROME -- The cover of a new Roman Catholic journal launched in Rome shows a long-haired, bearded young man, dressed in a light suit, white shirt and dark tie. A caption reads: “Look Jesus full in the face.” The magazine, called “Jesus” and devoted exclusively to the life and times of Christ, is published by the Society of St. Paul for the Apostolate of Communications (Pauline Fathers). It is a response to results of a recent public opinion survey in Italy of religious beliefs and attitudes. The survey showed that of a long list of famous people, Jesus was “most interesting” to older persons, while Karl Marx, Mao Tse-tung, Mohammed, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mahatma Ghandhi scored better with young people. The Pauline Fathers expressed hope that their publication would “penetrate and make real the time and the world of Jesus, in accord with a spirit of critical investigation.” A conservative Catholic organization has, however, filed suit against the magazine, claimed the image of the modern Christ on the cover offends Italy’s state religion.
