NOTRE DAME, Ind. (CNS) – "The Vagina Monologues," performed for large audiences in theaters on the University of Notre Dame campus for the past four years, will be restricted to a classroom setting at the university this year.

Will other Catholic universities (notably Saint Louis University) begin to see what the Monologues really promote and seek to preserve their own Catholic identities, as Notre Dame seems to be doing? We shall see.
In the meantime, I will pray that the administration at SLU will see the problems with the play and with many aspects of the 'V-Day' campaign.
