<p>To answer some of the questions I have been hearing from a student's perspective.</p>
<p>I am very very happy with what Fr. Jenkins is doing; it is what I have been praying for for quite some time now. Fr. Malloy in my opinion made several mistakes in his tenure and took us down the road that Georgetown went. Fr. Jenkins recognizes this and has the courage to step up and call it out. I believe he will be honest with it and will look at both sides before doing anything but really one has to question if the VM's or the QFF belong at a truly Catholic university I feel. </p>
<p>There is an excerpt from it and not only does it have things that I think are crude and is written by a strong pro-choice advocate but it even does some Catholic bashing in the excerpt with something that is not even true. I think that any school that is truly Catholic should at least question if it should be going on.</p>
<p>Jenkins is going about this the right way because he could have cancelled it but he wants to get input first and that is what he is doing I think.</p>
<p>As for what the students think, it depends on the major. I walked into my psychology class (I hide the fact that I am conservative, you unfortunately have to with psych) and was immediately asked by three students about my outrage on the issue. It was pretty clear where the psych majors stood, but then again I am pretty much the lone conservative psych major.</p>
<p>I think overall the students are pretty split with a slight majority favoring Jenkins but that is just my guess. Those who appose it just are much louder right now.</p>
<p>I think the faculty are mostly against it but there have been a couple who have spoken strongly for it. FTT is especially enraged and questioned if ND should be able to have A Merchant in Venice (I think that was the play) because some have called it anti-semetic. Now I see a difference between A Merchant in Venice and the VM's but maybe that is just me.</p>
<p>Anyways, I hope that helps.</p>
