(AgapePress) - Some Catholic colleges are being denounced for hosting a vulgar feminist play on their campuses. By recent counts, some 20 Catholic institutions are allowing the controversial production, The Vagina Monologues, sometimes euphemistically referred to as "The V-Monologues," to be presented on their campuses this year.

Among other content problematic to critics, the infamous Monologues contains references to lesbianism, masturbation, and pedophilia as well as disparagement of Christians and Christianity. Protesting the offensive production are a number of conservative Catholic groups, including the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) and the Cardinal Newman Society (CNS).

TFP Student Action director John Ritchie describes The V-Monologues as a compilation of bad experiences that involve content diametrically opposed to Catholic doctrine. He says the play's various speeches are "vulgar, they're vile, and they contain descriptions of sinful situations that have no place on a Catholic campus. They're degrading." the rest
