Another St. Valentine’s
Day "Massacre"
Feminists on thirty
American Catholic Universities are planning a new St. Valentine's
Day "Massacre," where the Church's traditional moral teaching
is the victim, by organizing showings of the lewd play, "The
V***** Monologues" in the weeks surrounding St. Valentine's
Day. (Asterisks added for the sake of modesty).
The choice of St. Valentine's
Day is particularly offensive, since it is a feast day of the Church
instituted to honor three martyrs who died to defend the Faith.
According to the Cardinal Newman
Society's website (www.cardinalnewmansociety.org),
the play is a conglomeration of vulgarities, obscenities and explicit
discussions of sexuality and sexual encounters including lesbian
activity and masturbation.
Their description continues:
"In one scene, a woman describes her seduction by a lesbian
woman when she was 16 years old, declaring it her 'salvation' and
an important coming-of-age experience. The older woman leads the
girl into sex by serving her alcohol and abusing her authority as
an elder."

"I cannot imagine an immoral
play like this being shown at one Catholic university, let alone
thirty of them," said TFP Student Action director John Ritchie.
"It's very indicative of the times in which we live!"
Bishop John M. D'Arcy issued
a statement regarding this scandal: "Freedom in the academy
is always subject to a particular discipline. It is never an absolute…
Freedom in the Catholic tradition is not the right to do this rather
than that. That would be an entirely superficial idea of freedom…
Freedom is the capacity to choose the good."
(www.diocesefwsb.org/communications/monologues.htm)
Now, TFP Student Action web site readers
can SEND A PROTEST LETTER to
the presidents of all 30 Catholic universities. Everyone needs to
be concerned.
After being forced to see the play
as part of a class, Christopher, a Catholic student from Massachusetts
wrote:
…it was a horrible exhibit of
vice, lust, and infidelity. Everything about the play - the content,
the performers, the atmosphere - was decidedly opposed to just
about everything the Church teaches, whether it be about sexuality,
abortion, contraception, holy matrimony, modesty, chastity, vulgarity,
humility, reverence, you name it…
Please defend Catholic morality and
support students like Christopher.
