Letters to the E ditor Monologues threaten Catholic identity Just doing his job ...

The highly publicized second annual Queer Film Festival began as a provocative exercise in inclusivity, and quickly became a firestorm of controversy. Few were spared the indignation of one party or another. Professor Ted Warfield asks why Bishop D’Arcy has spo­ ken out on the Festival and not about other campus events that do not necessarily showcase or coincide with the posi­ tions of the Catholic Church. The events he is referring to simply do not attract the same magnitude of attention as sensationalized issues like the ethics of war, abortion, or homosexuality. For evidence, examine the responses elicited by Fahrenheit 9/11, the Cemetery of the Innocents and now the Queer Film Festival, respectively. Professor Ed Manier accused the bishop of “muddying the waters of intelligent public discussion,” and characterized him as failing to be “consistent" with his views or to “meet any other criterion of rational discourse” in his opposition to University sponsorship of the event. It would appear that the bishop lacks the intellectual rigor to take part in this discussion. While D’Arcy is not a career academic like Manier, he holds a doctorate in theology from the well- respected Pontifical Angelicum University in Rome. Listening to his homilies at the Basilica, I have found him to be quite intelligent and indeed capable of providing pastoral As a group of law students organized to work scx marriage or welfare policies of the United guidance to his diocese. toward the culture of life, Jus Vitae (Notre States: But there arc certain moral truths that Manier advocates a disconnect in the relationship Dame Law School Right to Life) is dismayed and cannot and should not be denied. between the Church and Catholic universities in the United disappointed that the department of film, tele­ Among these truths is the dignity of every States.
