Articles on Fr. Jenkin's Address

<p>I think it is going to have to be agree to disagree but I will leave some final thoughts as well.</p>

<p>One thing to remember is that the play does speak falsely (in a mocking way) about Catholics and that alone would be enough for me not to support it at a Catholic university <a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/features/ensler/vm/excerpt.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.randomhouse.com/features/ensler/vm/excerpt.html&lt;/a>. Additionally, the Bishop saying that they are not fit for being taught at a Catholic university would be enough to say that they should not be here. </p>

<p>My final thought is this; Notre Dame is a Catholic university and that Catholic is a qualifier and a specifier. Yes, I can see the goal of a University is to educate you on all different sides of any argument, but a Catholic university should do that as much as it can but within Catholic boundaries. If a Catholic university was just like any other university then why should you go to a Catholic university. No, a Catholic university should provide a Catholic education and that is why VM's should not be here. People like me come here for the Catholic education, I could have gone to Wash U for a secular one. </p>

<p>Last thought: a kid who refused to go to the VM's due to morals was required to write a 10-page single-spaced paper when everyone else just had to go and see it. A kid should not be penalized at any university for refusing to go to something against his moral belief system but that especially should not happen at ND. </p>

<p>Just my opinion but I will respect yours and agree to disagree with you NDparent. Have a good one.</p>
