Feminist groups on twenty-one American Catholic Universities are planning a new assault against the Church’s traditional moral teaching, by organizing showings of the lewd play, “The V***** Monologues” in the weeks surrounding St. Valentine’s Day. (Asterisks added for modesty).

The choice of St. Valentine’s Day is particularly offensive, since it is a feast day the Church instituted to honor three martyrs who died to defend the Faith.
 
this sickens me. How can those schools call themselves Catholic??
Where are the bishops and why are they not doing their jobs?

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
 
Yes, I agree with you. Where are our pastors, our bishops? The flock is being hit on all sides by our crazy culture and we need strong Catholic leaders with the courage to oppose it.

May Our Lady help us!
 
I don’t understand why so called “Catholic” colleges allow the filthy v-monologues. I go to college of mount Saint Vincent and there will be a showing. I wish the Pope would demand that Catholic Colleges get rid of it or not be able to call themselves “Catholic” colleges. Catholic Colleges shouldn’t be allowed to facilitate the production of pornography.

Their coming to my college in Ontario too. The poster read “are you tired of the shame, embarassment, prejudice that comes with being a woman?”. I couldn’t believe that. I don’t know who these people are talking to but I’ve never been ashamed or embarassed to be a woman!!
 
What I see here is a rush to put these on before the Vatican can either fully bring these colleges in compliance or tell them that they cannot be associated with the Church anymore. I think a list of these colleges should be forwarded to the Papal Nuncio for expedited sanctions.

I took a class at a secular University where the play was being performed at the dorm. While in the class, I was suffering through a lot and was constantly behind on my work. I ended up in a group that was supposed to do a presentation on women in communities but I wasn’t there in the planning of what we were to discuss. When it came our turn for the presentation, I discovered that the group had brought in a couple of students who were performing the vagina monologues and has to stand and listen to a few monologues from the play. I was horrified.

I ended up withdrawing from the University before I completed the course and if I hadn’t I’m sure I would have failed. The thing I regret is that I was so behind and forgetful I wasn’t being active enough to really stand up for the truth. Granted, I also don’t think I knew enough of the truth to defend it adequitely.

But I ended up hearing three stories: one involving a woman who was molested by a lesbian, one involving a woman who attended some class to teach her how to masturbate, and another involving a woman whose husband was treating her as an object in their sexual relations and insisting she do things she wasn’t comfortable with. The last one I think was a justifable complaint but it presented it as “This is how all men are and what he wanted wasn’t wrong but rather it was that the two weren’t sexually compatible.”
 
i’m still grossed out, especially after what the-3rd-parent said!

I guess that the Roman Catholic Church has been taken over by sexual perverts. This is also indicated by the best selling novels of the Roman Catholic priest Father Greeley.

It is offensive to choose St. Valentine’s Day, this is true. But it is even worse when the Roman Catholic Jesuit colleges, such as Holy Cross college in Worcester, Massachusetts, celebrate Ash Wednesday by a showing of the play. I thought that Ash Wednesday was a time for reflection, prayer and self-denial, but I guess that I was wrong, as the Roman Catholic authorities in charge at Holy Cross college in Worcester, Massachusetts apparently think that Ash Wednesday is the day to remind Roman Catholic students at the college that lesbian relations are OK, and that lewd plays are what should be supported and encouraged at the beginning of the lenten season.
 
Personally, I think the devil has sucessfully seduced the Jesuit universities and I don’t mean that facetiously. I am deadly serious. There is a serious lack of moral order at so many of them that it seems to be now their underlying agenda.

We need to seriously pray for their conversion, and pray unceasingly.

I wonder if the Catholic universities allowing this indecent play on their campuses are even rushing. This is roughly the fifth consecutive year this filthy play is running at most of these institutions of “bygone” higher learning, now lower than ever. There is one good piece of news worthy of your attention.

Last week, the president of Providence College, Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P., Ph.D., banned the play on his campus. “Doubtless some will reply that this is a violation of artistic freedom. But artistic freedom on a Catholic campus cannot mean the complete license to perform or display any work of art regardless of its intellectual or moral content,” said Fr. Shanley. “Any institution which sanctioned works of art that undermined its deepest values would be inauthentic, irresponsible, and ultimately self-destructive.”

Right. Pray for the people in charge of the educational institutions of the Roman Catholic Church that they will repent of their support of lewd plays on Ash Wednesday and of lesbianism betweeen an older woman and a younger girl. What has happened to the Catholic Church and its clergy?
 
I clicked on the above link and sent emails to the Catholic universities and to my glad surprise, I got a response from one Catholic university, so I thought I would share it with all of you.

I received your email regarding a production of the Monologues at Saint Xavier University. I am aware that there has been a public notice that Saint Xavier University is sponsoring the play; the notice is incorrect. Saint Xavier University is not hosting the Monologues.

The Rev. Brian J. Shanley sums it up pretty nicely when he states his opposition to VM “because its depiction of female sexuality is so deeply at odds with the true meaning and morality that the Catholic Church’s teaching celebrates”. Providence College will not be hosting the play. You can read his comments HERE

It’s nice to see a Catholic college take a Catholic stand for a change. 👍

Actually, there are about twenty or so Catholic colleges that agree with you, so you are in good company with your opinion. In one case, the case of Holy Cross college of Worcester, Massachusetts, they think that it is a great way for Catholic students to start off the Lenten season, by showing the play on Ash Wednesday.

Hi Gnosis!

Welll… There are a few things, but to keep it on topic, lets just say that the view of morality, chastity, and sexuality are all grossly incompatible with the Catholic faith.

As this forum is a Catholic one, and the thread is about the play being staged at Catholic universities, we are all concerned that the Catholic universities in question are bailing on their responsibility to accurately represent the faith and morality of the Church to the young people who are educated there.

There is already enough problems with people not knowing what the Church teaches on many things. For Catholic universities to support something that dramatically goes against Catholic teaching simply spreads scandal and confusion among those who go to those universities.

So, from your perspective, being of no faiths and all faiths, there may be nothing wrong with the play that we could pin down, as we may not share the same mores on sexuality etc. But from a Catholic perspective it is pretty bad. And we don’t like those universities that claim to be Catholic supporting something that goes against the Church.

Thanks!

Jimbo.

Although Saint Xavier University is not sponsoring the play this year, an official of the university made it a point to say that next year it is likely to be allowed on campus :mad:
