TFP Student Action Launches Protest
Scandalizing students nationwide, 518 colleges and universities intend to allow performances of the lewd "V***** Monologues" play on their campuses, a piece replete with sexual encounters, lust, graphic descriptions of masturbation and lesbian behavior.
Perhaps the most disturbing fact is that dozens of prominent Catholic universities have permitted this play on campus year after year during the months of February and March, including Georgetown University, University of Notre Dame, Saint Louis University, Saint Francis University, Fordham University, Loyola Marymount University and others.
It is difficult to fathom how any Catholic institution of higher learning would give open forum to this play, which explicitly condones mortal sin, and promotes the corrosive agenda of the sexual revolution on campus.
You Can Join the Protest
TFP Student Action has launched its protest against the corporate sponsors of V-Day, the group that issues licenses for the "V***** Monologues" play. To sign and send your e-protest, just visit www.tfp.org/sa
"Our next step will be to contact Catholic university officials where the "V***** Monologues" is scheduled and ask them to immediately cancel the immoral play," said TFP Student Action director John Ritchie. " We hope to generate one million protest messages with this campaign."
Protests are effective. In fact, 16 Catholic colleges canceled the play earlier this year because of protests. Hundreds of protest letters, e-mails, and phone calls flooding into university offices can cause public relations nightmares for college presidents. TFP applauds the university officials that banned the play.
Concerned Catholic Parents
Catholic parents with children at these institutions are deeply distraught. Many assume their tuition goes towards a good "Catholic" education, that somehow guarantees their children's formation in matters of Faith and morals. However, by allowing events such as the lustful "V***** Monologues" on Catholic campuses, administration officials send mixed messages to students, and jeopardize students' Faith.
Bishop Criticizes Production
Bishop John M. D'Arcy of the Fort Wayne-South Bend diocese, Indiana, criticized the "V***** Monologues" in a two-page statement published earlier this year. He said it should have never played at the University of Notre Dame. "The play violates the truth about women, the truth about sexuality, the truth about male and female and the truth about the human body."
Bishop D'Arcy continues: "Freedom in the Catholic tradition, and even in the American political tradition, is not the right to do anything. 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."
Will Catholic colleges listen?

What's up with the asterisks?
Apparently they cover up a vile, obscene word that our virgin eyes must not behold. ;)
The word "vagina" is not a vulgarity. But the contents of this feminazi so-called "play" certainly are.
You don't have to euphemize the word "vagina." It's an OK word.
The "here" link is unclickable.....
Cant spell Vagina? VAGINA VAGINA VAGINA!!
I prefer the term "Tunnel of Fun".

What the author of the V-Monologues play intended was to destory any sense of modesty. That's why some people chose not to repeat the title, not to play into their feminist game.
Reminds me of the troll "Pyranose" and "Pyranose1" from this thread:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1039202/posts
So you call even more attention to it by covering it up. I don't think the plan is working.
The immorality plague continues to run unabated. seems to thrive best in college campus environments.
"What the author of the V-Monologues play intended was to destory any sense of modesty. That's why some people chose not to repeat the title, not to play into their feminist game."
Well, there ya go, then. My momma taught me to call body parts by the names used by doctors. Nothing immodest about vaginas. Over half the population has a vagina. It's a body part.
Calling things by their correct names is not a feminist ploy. It is simply calling them by their correct names. The euphemistic use of asterisks, OTOH, actually DOES play into the hands of the feminists.
Vagina.
Well, let's see what words might fit this euphemistic expression:
Vassar
Vulgar
Volvos
Violin
Violas
Violet
Vervet
Vanity
YES! It's the last one! I knew it! The Vanity Monologues!
Homosexual Agenda Overlap Moral Absolutes Ping:
(Note: I lost most of the names on the Moral Absolutes list, ping me if anyone wants on/back on/off either of these lists!)
Update on the Vagina/V/V***** Monologues, which supposedly promote freedom for women. These people don't get it that "freedom" and "licence" are two different things. Catholic schools are starting to wake up about this junk.
I really like what Burke had to say:
"But what is liberty without wisdom, and without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint. Those who know what virtuous liberty is, cannot bear to see it disgraced by incapable heads, on account of their having high-sounding words in their mouths." Edmund Burke
and
"Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites--in proportion as their love of justice is above their rapacity;--in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption;--in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon the will and appetite is placed somewhere: and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds can not be free. Their passions forge their fetters."
-- Edmund Burke
Someone should dare a frat to go and play the P**** game during the show. : )
