Bishop John D'Arcy of Fort Wayne--South Bend

South Bend, Mar 13, 2008 / 01:14 pm (CNA).- John D’Arcy, Bishop of Fort Wayne-South Bend, has responded to the decision by the president of Notre Dame to allow the performance of the Vagina Monologues, calling the play “pornographic” and “spiritually damaging.”

 

“As bishop of this historic diocese, entrusted with the spiritual welfare of all those who live within its borders, including the students at our beloved Notre Dame, I believe that, once again, I must publicly and respectfully disagree with Father Jenkins’ decision,” Bishop D’Arcy said, in a written statement posted on the website of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend.

 

The bishop encouraged Father Jenkins to reconsider his decision to allow the play for this year and for future years.
