That troubles me too; not because I get very into the religious rhetoric, but because the "Catholic identity" at my school is used sometimes, not all the time.

We are not allowed to put on "That Vagina Monologues," which is about educating people about and healing the victims of sexual violence, because homosexual themes allegedly conflict with our Jesuit identity. But like I said, rape-speech hurled at women who walk to the library? Apparently that's nothing to get up-in-arms about.

And really, Jesus never said jack shit about birth control, abortion, homosexuality, etc., but I'm pretty sure he'd be an opponent of calling me a "CUNT" just because I have one.
