University of Minnesota OKs anti-Catholic play "The Pope and the Witch," snubs bishops January 30, 2007
The blasphemous play “The Pope and the Witch” is scheduled to stage at the University of Minnesota on March 1. Written by avowed communist Dario Fo, the play describes the Pope as a heroine-addict with a ‘crucifixion stroke,’ a mockery of the Crucifixion.

Of all the strange "crimes" that human beings have legislated out of nothing, "blasphemy" is the most amazing -- with "obscenity" and "indecent exposure" fighting it out for second and third place.Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love, 1973
Were there any petitions to ban the Vagina Monologues from playing at most of the Catholic colleges/universities?

That is fine. I want them to approve the showing of an anti-islamic play.

Another lost soul completely oblivious to their moral deficit, utterly absorbed in the belief of their self-inflated ego.

Thank you!
Off with their heads!
Oh, sorry that's the other religion that gets to do that.
So brave of those leftists to attack Catholicism. I can't wait for them to put on Voltaire's Mahomet.
That being said, when and where are we Catholics going to riot and murder to protest this outrage? Want to make sure I don't miss the fun!
I know I signed one regarding the showing at Notre Dame.
Didn't work. I guess Catholics just don't have the juice some other religions have, even with our own , LOL!
It's been open season against Catholics for way too long, and sometimes we win. Actually we always win, because God wants us to try.
Target stopped contributing to Planned Parenthood, because of boycotts.
Remember how some stores included Christmas, because many of us spoke out?
Just a couple of examples.
"I want them to approve the showing of an anti-islamic play."
We know that will never happen. COWARDS!!
"So brave of those leftists to attack Catholicism. I can't wait for them to put on Voltaire's Mahomet."
Yep, these "brave" people only attack peace-loving Catholics, including some of the "brave" posters here.

Another example how taking action yields results.
There are nations on this earth where the Catholic Church treats over 50% of the AIDS victims, and the rest of the world inefficiently ignores them and leaves them to rot.
And I bet this loser criticizes the Vatican over its condom policy and discounts everything else.
Human garbage like this annoys me to no end.
Though I'm an alum, I've never given these mutts any money, I'm glad to say.
"There are nations on this earth where the Catholic Church treats over 50% of the AIDS victims, and the rest of the world inefficiently ignores them and leaves them to rot."
Even liberal Paul Neuman gave $250,000 to Catholic Relief Services, because they are EFFECTIVE.

Was it anything like this when you were there?
