The Trouble With Jesuits, Part 27
To celebrate the feast day of St. Valentine, our Jesuit friends have something special planned....
At least eight Catholic colleges and universities will be
hosting performances of The Vagina Monologues or have student groups putting on
the play in 2015, The Cardinal Newman Society has discovered. This year, six
out of the eight Catholic higher education institutions with connections to the
play are affiliated with the Jesuits.

The Monologues has been criticized by several bishops for
its positive portrayal of distorted human sexuality and promotion of immoral
behaviors, such as lesbian sexual activity and masturbation.

The Monologues has been criticized by several bishops for its positive portrayal of distorted human sexuality and promotion of immoral behaviors, such as lesbian sexual activity and masturbation. Bishop John D’Arcy, the late bishop of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, called the play “an affront to human dignity.” Bishop Earl Boyea of the Diocese of Lansing described it as “anti-woman, reducing her God-given genius and dignity to a bizarre emphasis on one physical aspect of her person.”
