From today’s NYT:

The University of Notre Dame will continue to allow a gay film festival and the play “Vagina Monologues” on campus, its president announced yesterday. The decision was a sharp turnaround from a speech that the president, the Rev. John I. Jenkins, gave to faculty members and students in January questioning the appropriateness of such events on a Roman Catholic campus.
In the speech, Father Jenkins said he objected to the “graphic descriptions” of sexual experiences in “The Vagina Monologues” and its portrayals of human sexuality outside traditional relationships between men and women. Conservative Catholics said the events, which have been held on campus for several years, contradicted church teachings on sexuality.
After hearing from hundreds of students, faculty members, alumni and administrators in the last 10 weeks, Father Jenkins said he saw “no reason to prohibit performances of ‘The Vagina Monologues’ on campus.” The gay film festival will also continue.
