Mr. Lamb contends that "by depriving its students of the opportuni­ ty to experience homosexual culture in a way that they probably haven't before, the University is failing to provide us a true educa­ tion." On the contrary, the Latin root of "education" is a word which means "to lead forth," and a truly Catholic education would then be a leading forth of students in accordance with Catholic theology. The sort of "cultural interaction" Mr. Lamb seeks does not require an institutional setting or sponsorship; students can and will interact with whomever they choose and however they choose, and no one is preventing organizers from undertaking to host this festival or any other at some other venue. What is at issue here, then, seems not to be cultural interaction, but rather an attempt to alter the policies of a Catholic institution as derived from Catholic theology. If the mission of a Catholic university is something like that which I have described, then a festival whose purpose (by definition) is to cel­ ebrate a lifestyle which is contrary to the theology of the Catholic Church is then contrary to the mission of a Catholic university, and if so, the university not only has reason to not allow such a festival, but is duty bound to do so. Stated simply, in a Catholic university, the word "Catholic" modifies the word "university." The university does not modify what it means to be Catholic.
