Bishops blast V-Monologues play on Catholic campuses

Members of the Campus Rosary Crusade have been opposing productions of the lewd V-Monologues play over the years -- especially when they are presented at Catholic institutions of higher learning such as the University of Notre Dame, where they subvert Catholic morality and thus have no place. There are new developments to report.

Just recently, Catholics protested at Loyola in New Orleans. The next day, Archbishop Alfred C. Hughes of New Orleans issued a statement against the play, saying

Academic freedom encourages the pursuit of the truth. Academic freedom is prostituted when it is used to justify activities which dehumanize women and perpetuate blatant falsehood.

Likewise, Bishop D'Arcy issued a powerful statement condemning the decision of Fr. Jenkins, president of Notre Dame, for allowing the play to disgrace campus later this month.

Bishop D’Arcy also criticized the play’s scheduling for Holy Week, saying, “If this play is performed on the dates scheduled, it will be held during Easter week, the holiest time of the church year… Surely Notre Dame will not prefer or even seem to prefer the requirements of the V-Day campaign to the proper observance of Easter.”
