You have ordered those DVDs and video tapes off late night TV always looking for the latest thrill. After a while though you wait for something new and daring that hasn’t been done before. That is you have waited until now for our great new set of DVD titles.
Jesuits Gone Wild!
We have taken our video cameras to Jesuit institutions across the United States to bring you the latest in entertainment. What you ask – Jesuit Universities? – how boring. These are not your daddy’s Jesuit Universities!!!
* Pictures from here
Volume 1 takes you inside the annual drag show at Santa Clara University – you guessed it – a Jesuit institution. Now you might balk that these were officially sanctioned by the university and that we are selling these videos under false pretenses. Not only is Santa Clara University officially approve these events they are also promoted as educational.
Primarily, the Drag Show/Lip Sync is an event that serves to advertise events of Queer Awareness Week on the Santa Clara campus, which include a panel discussion, an ally workshop, and a day of silence. Because the event is widely popular and a lot of fun for everyone, it can reach a larger university audience–an audience that might not ordinarily attend a workshop or discussion on homophobia.
People come to the drag show to be entertained. One of the biggest complaints at Santa Clara University is a lack of on-campus social events–probably a leading cause of the dangerously high levels of underage and binge drinking. Our goal is that students are safely entertained, leaving with not only a smile on their face, but also with a broader understanding of gender diversity.
The university’s web page says that drag shows are "A Celebration of History", "A Celebration of Diversity", and a "A Critique of Gender Binarism" So besides are videos being entertaining there are also educational!
What’s more we have plenty of fun and wackiness to choose from with 35 Catholic campuses performing the "V-Monologues" and most Jesuit institutions honoring pro-abortion politicians and celebrities you just know you won’t be bored. You can bet you socks none of this is orthodox. You’ll just love all the Jesuit institutions with coed dorms dedicated to educating students for competence, conscience, and compassion. Two of Georgetown University women’s studies professors are also employees of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America so you just know the new Jesuit tradition is unrestrained sex without consequence which our cameras have captured.
Enjoy the Jesuit advantage that has long dropped stiff and rigid views of sexual morality. Increase your intellectual and spiritual strength and at the same time give into your libido.
So order now though there is no hurry since the odds of most bishops following and enforcing Ex Corde Ecclesiae is lower than the chance of Cardinal Mahony celebrating the Mass in Latin or the Bishops Conference doing something other than appointing another commission to study something.

A Critique of Gender Binarism
Why won’t panzerpope slay the heretics?
?

When I see things like this I’m glad I attended Temple University, a state school, rather than St. Joseph’s University, a Jesuit school. At Temple, I was of course force-fed the usual diet of multi-cultural, post-modernist, moral-relativist, far-left crap. However, it seems that I would have been on the receiving end of the same nonsense at St. Joe’s for twice the tuition. Moreover, not being exposed to a “Catholic” college education left what I learned at Northeast Catholic High intact. Keep up the good work!
It’s still M-A-H-O-N-Y, your Jesterness.
P.S. Not available in any stores!
Sheesh.
OMGOODNESS!!!!!!!
It’s still the sad truth, that with a few luminous exceptions (Ave Maria, Christendom..) Catholic centers/Newman Centers at most secular universities are far stronger than most Catholic institutions. It was certainly my experience at Boston University: while things were going nutty up the road at Boston College (the Jesuit school), we had great faith formation, awesome homilies, packed and growing retreats (and a better hockey team ;-))at BU.
St. Ignatius, please avert your eyes… I don’t think they are conducting the same “Spiritual Exercises” at Santa Clara which you studied!
This is just the worst. (not the post, the abuses)
I go to a very secular, liberal college. The Catholic center at my school is crap, or at least much too willing to buy into and sell the “all churches are equal” schtick.
Blech. Young people deserve to know the truth. We cannot be reached through the relativist haze that has surrounded us from our very earliest TV shows.
And we wonder why half the kids that come out of Catholic universities are so messed up when it comes to their faith.(How about renaming them the Jesu-nit-wits.)
“stiff and rigid views of sexual morality?” Man, how Freudian can you get??? Maybe I will stay Protestant – no, we’re even more messed up than you guys are. Come Lord Jesus….quickly, please!
BU may have had a great hockey team in year’s past, but Jack Parker will always be a big jerk 🙂
– Chris (from UMaine, whose Newman center had as it’s pastor an ex Jesuit, who loved to take liturgical liberties).
I am beginning to believe that you are the Mark Steyn of Catholics. This is pure genius. Must reading for every parent who has been suckered by the quaint notion of a “Jesuit” education.
Dante, where are you? We have a need for several more dedicated circles over at the Inferno.
I went to the website to see for myself.
I felt the urge to send this e-mail to the young
naive student, who has charge of the site.
Hi Josh
I was looking at the Catholic Humour website: http://www.splendoroftruth.com/curtjester/Jeff has done a feature on your collage. At first I thought the pictures were fake, and assumed it was a funny “wind-up” at first. But then I went to your collage website at: http://www-acc.scu.edu/clubs/GALA/Photos/PICTURES.htm
I was shocked at the push for Homosexuality in the whole website. Homosexuality is a disorder, which has a cure. I humbly, give you this link, to think about it for your self. Maybe you will see, a different angle, that you were not shown before now.

I couldn’t find the page for the “How is a Drag-Show Educational” link, but I was very tempted to e-mail the “report a hate crime” part. After all, I am a woman and to find men dressing as mock-women as “entertainment” is hateful. If this is Catholic higher education, I’m afraid to see what’s going on at my mother’s alma mater Thomas Aquinas these days.
It’s sad but true. Having gone to Jesuit high school and two Jesuit colleges I can vouch for it *embarassed*
People used to ask me “Oh, isn’t that a Catholic school?” and I’d often reply “Oh, no — it’s Jesuit”.
Well, considering that the president of the college brought a recently unemployed Thomas Reese, SJ., to work for him and had this to say about it in the diocesan newspaper, (which has its own interesting comments) I’m not surprised. I couldn’t help but add a few of my own comments.
�He can contribute to the campus in so many different ways. I�m sure he wants to do a good deal of reading, writing and reflecting,� **WHAT? NO ‘RITHMATIC?** Father Locatelli said. He said some Jesuits were disappointed that Father Reese had resigned from America magazine. ***REALLY? WELL SOME JESUITS ALSO APPARENTLY FELT IT WAS OKAY TO HAVE A DRAG QUEEN SHOW AT THEIR CATHOLIC EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION. THEY WERE WRONG.** �He was doing an excellent job with the magazine and has worked very hard to understand the complicated issues in the relationship between the Church, society and culture. ***ABORTION, SEXUAL IMMORALITY, AND BELIEF AND TRUST IN CATHOLIC DOCTRINE ARE NOT COMPLICATED ISSUES*** to a place where he felt welcome ***BECAUSE MORE THAN ANYTHING, WE AGING DINOSAUR HIPPIES NEED TO FEEL WELCOME. NOT HOLY. NOT PENITENT. JUST WELCOME.** and would have the time to decide what he wanted to do next,� ***LET’S SEE. WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO DO? I KNOW! I’LL START ACTING LIKE A CATHOLIC!** Father Locatelli said. Father Reese became editor-in-chief of America on June 15, 1998. A widely recognized expert ***WIDELY RECOGNIZED BY CLUELESS PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO GRASP OR NEED OF CATHOLIC DOCTRINE, THAT IS** on the U.S. Catholic Church, he is the author of a trilogy of books examining Church organization and politics on the local, national and international levels.
**YAWN**
Uhhhhnnnnhh…the Jebbies most definitely did NOT drop “stiff and rigid” [views on sex.]
They simply relocated the nexus of said adjectives.
The one line that had me laughing out loud was your remark on the “bishops doing something other than appointing another commission to study something”.
Great close.
Within the last academic year at St. Joseph’s (Philadelphia), the calendar was graced with a “Rainbow Week”, and commencement was marred by a faculty-led protest over the choice of commencement speaker. The speaker was Senator Rick Santorum, who is legitimately Catholic! I have no doubt that there would have been nothing but wild applause from the faculty had the speaker been Ted Kennedy or John Kerry.
Cardinal Mahony = Marginal Baloney
Having gone to SCU I can vouch for most of this wackiness. You should go to the 10 PM masses with the table altar in the middle, the liturgical dancers, the guy playing a quiet tune during the whole consecration, it’s just a mess for an orthodox Catholic. No one should be surprised by the drag show though, it’s only one hour south of SF. That reminds me, if SCU was bad, imagine USF.
Having said that, there are actually about 3 or 4 good Jesuits and luckily I was able to find other good professors who weren’t relativists or leftists.
One more thing, no one I knew ever got the “competence” part of the 3 Cs. (You mean we just have to be good enough?) But I guess that makes sense only to a relativist.
For Manuel’s relativist 3 c’s, a nostalgic response comes to mind:
“C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me!” (Cookie Monster)
Good one Teresa!!!
I am a student at Santa Clara University. The drag show started somewhat of a contraversy on campus, with one Catholic student writing a letter to the editor of the paper criticising the pro-gay campus culture. He was attacked for writing a “hateful letter” causing students to “lose sleep” and “fear for their lives.” His letter was poorly written, but not remotely hateful.
In our latest yearbook, the first page with content says “queer theory,” and has students holding a rainbow flag outside the Mission Church. The next page (and this is truly shocking) shows students holding a gay rainbow flag while sitting against the altar in the church.
I am a convert, I was baptised and confirmed at the mission church there. It was bad then but I didn’t know any better. Now I would never go to mass at that church. At SCU it is common for the students (and even the faculty) to make a distinction, saying “there is a difference between Catholic and Jesuit.”
I could go on for hours about the spiritual disease that infects the place. However, the drag show is somewhat limited, the administration is not exactly supportive of it. Nonetheless, it shouldn’t even be happening, and the fact that it is proves the evil that controls the campus.
Mark, I must say that most likely that letter to Josh Crosson will not result in any positive reaction. At worst, there will be an investigation due to a “threatening, homophobic letter”, and at best it will be ignored.
I would like to ask everyone to pray for Santa Clara University.
“Evil that controls the place”? Yikes. This site is a parody of itself.
Josh Crosson hasn’t replied to me yet.
I’m sure he taking a little time to think of a convicing reply !
Fresnodiocesewatch.com hasalso up the Santa Clara Drag week celebration to alert us to the bogus Jesuit tolerant “education” being promoted at SCU. Thank you your jesterness. By the way, is this Josh Crossan any relation to the infamous, ex-priest, De Paul professor, John Dominic Crossan, known for his teachings contrary to the Magisterium?
and a day of silence
I am totally with you guys on this! In fact, be hardcore; stretch it out to fifteen years of silence.
