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."

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.
