Denver Archbishop Says Supreme Court Is Wrong On Video Game Violence

5-Jul-11 - Denver Archbishop Says Supreme Court Is Wrong On Video Game Violence:Denver Archbishop Charles J. Chaput says a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision on video game violence is "wrong," and will contribute to "poisoning our future."

In a July 1 column for First Things, Archbishop Chaput wrote that the court's June 27 ruling "extends and elevates the individual's right to free expression - or in this case, a corporation's right to make a healthy profit - at the expense of family sovereignty, the natural rights of parents and the intent of the Constitution's authors."

The decision in the case of "Brown vs. EMA" struck down a California law that banned minors from buying or renting violent video games.
