Re: Vagina Monologues 2, Bishops 0

If the score board characterized the struggle between popular impurity and Catholic values at Notre Dame the disparity would be much higher. This play is not much different than many other events the school hosts. One example comes from the various concerts and perhaps some movies that are shown on campus. I have heard numbers performed at both "the show" and at concerts at legends that are quite scandalous and fully inappropriate for a Catholic university. What's more these things cannot be justified under the academic freedom clause so are even less justified than this play. I have even recieved an advertisement for pornographic magazine subscriptions in the bag the university book store gave me to carry my purchases.
Of course the play is inappropriate for campus too, but I claim we ought to go and object to these other things as well.
One can read many articles about the university's efforts to ensure the clothes sold with its name are made under fair labor conditions, its efforts to involve students in community service, and many other good works performed by those associated with the university, but other than restrictions on certain in dorm activities, it appears no effort has been made to ensure less popular elements of Catholic teaching, like those regarding purity, are reflected by university policies.
