Chicago’s own Loyola and DePaul are among 15 RC colleges still showing “The Vagina Monologues,” reports Catholic Citizens of Illinois, citing Catholic News Service (but oddly not linking to it).
“The play is sexually explicit and favorably describes lesbian activity, group self-abuse, and the lesbian seduction and rape of a teenage girl,” says Catholic Citizens (Catholic News Service? Story can’t be found there).
“CNS encourages protesters to be charitable and respectful, with the understanding that most Monologues productions are not officially sponsored by the colleges and universities but should nevertheless be prevented by policies consistent with Catholic education.”
Also among the 15 are four other Jesuit schools — Holy Cross, Fordham, Georgetown, and U. of San Francisco, according to Catholic News Agency — not to be confused with Catholic News Service, sponsored by American Catholic bishops.
Blithe Spirit 
The content of the phrase “Vagina Monologues” should be enough to get it banned.
Who could possibly be troubled to see the word “monologues” in print?

I suppose that someone could fine something objectionable in any reference to any body parts. That someone whould have taken gross anatomy when I did. Nothing (I mean absolutely nothing) was sacred in that oppressive, formalin-reeking laboratory. Sadly, I was alergic to the slightest whiff . . . no fun!!!!
