‘It's akin to giving cotton candy when real food is needed.’
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — How does a drag show fit the mission of a Catholic university? That is what a Catholic education expert asked when hearing about such a performance, which took place at the Jesuit university in Philadelphia last Friday.
A drag show, listed as an event of Saint Joseph’s Univerity’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion office, was held April 22 at the student center, The Perch.
Dr. Denise Donohue, Vice President for Educator Resources at the Cardinal Newman Society — an organization which promotes and defends faithful Catholic education — told CNA April 27 that “the mission of Catholic education is to evangelize and witness to the truth of God and the world through complete integral human formation.”
“How do these types of shows do that?”
CNA asked officials at Saint Joseph’s University if they thought hosting a drag show was consistent with Catholic teaching, but received no response.
Donohue said that “while there might certainly be aspects of artistic merit in these types of performances it's akin to giving cotton candy when real food is needed.”
“When worldly views that counter Church teaching are given ‘center stage’ by a Catholic institution, whether just for entertainment or political positioning, Catholic identity is harmed, thus requiring reinforcement of authentic Church teaching for the sake of the souls of students in its care,” she said.
