"The Vagina Monologues is congruent with the mission of John Carroll University."
THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES |
The Vagina Monologues Violence is an epidemic that plagues women in our country and all over the world. On our campus this past semester we are aware that at least five female students were sexually assaulted by fellow John Carroll University students. While these sexual assaults outraged many J.C.U. community members, they also revealed an under-lying culture where women feel guilty, ashamed, and personally responsible for sexual assault. This makes the fourth annual J.C.U. benefit performance of The Vagina Monologues especially poignant and critical.

I think it's also congruent with Andrew Dice Clay's mission statement.
Hey Bo'Fetus... It's MY VAGINA, and I'm evicting you!
did you hear about this?
Sorry, that's just the left side of my brain speaking. No need for an actual logical connection to support the assertion, is there?
Since lesbian sex and sex out of wedlock are sins according to Catholic teaching, how in heaven's name can calling such sinful activity "healing" be in accordance with Catholic teaching, the promotion of which certainly should be the mission of a Catholic educational institution.
The play shows women that “vagina” is NOT a bad word, and is NOT something of which to be ashamed.
To say that the treatment of this particular word in and of itself has ANYTHING to do with mistreatment of women is ridiculous. It is a technical term for the female reproductive organ. Penis is the technical term for the male reproductive organ, but it most certainly is vulgar and inappropriate to lace one's speech or any play with either term, and it is not in accordance with modesty and chastity, virtues that Catholic teaching has always upheld, to its great credit, for both men and women.
I know when I was in college I spent most of my time trying to talk to ... nevermind.
They did it last year too. They'll never get a penny out of this alum.
If this group is really serious about stopping rapes on campus, then they'd be sponsoring a chapter of the Second Amendment Sisters, not this cr*p!

This kind of kooky liberal unreality has no rightful place in Catholic education.
But......as I am fond of saying: "it's all part of the agenda".
I suggest they give the money back as a refund to the families that paid the tuition for this crap to be pumped into their children's heads under the fraud of claiming they would get a "Catholic college education."
Yes. The tragedy goes further......any informed person should know that at this point the overwhelming majority of Catholic elementary & high schools are also Catholic in name only.
Children are being forced to learn and parrot back modernism, and hetrodox liberalism as if it were the gospel itself.
The version of North Korean mind control that passes itself off as a "college education" these days is quite absurd and ridiculous in the extreme. It's utter madness that anyone takes out a second mortgage to pay for any of this crap. The "conservatives" have failed the culture on this issue.

Hey! It sounds like you attended Seattle University (a "Jesuit" University)! The V*** Monologues are scheduled right at St. Valentines day so that V-Day is now associated with feminism rather than a saint's feast day. Sick. Seattle U is supporting this, of course, by having both the V*** Monologues and the V*** Dialogues (a discussion after the play).
At least Seattle U took on a pagan name, lest one be fooled into thinking it Catholic.
