Jesuit Priest Defends Drag Show as Students Protest
Drag show sparks challenge to Catholic identity - The Spectator - News
Most shocking excerpts:
"I believe whole-heartedly that Seattle University is thoroughly Catholic," said Director of Campus Ministry Fr. Mike Bayard, S.J.
"To be Catholic at Seattle University means to be inclusive. Our Catholicism recognizes that all faiths are welcome here," said Bayard to The Spectator.
Still, even the Jesuits at Seattle U struggle with the more delicate issues of doctrine. Not all Jesuits agree, and many struggle to articulate their feelings on some of the more hot-button issues like homosexuality and abortion.
[The truth is the truth regardless of how you "feel." You can't just wake up in the morning and say, "well, today I feel that abortion is ok."]
"My understanding of a drag show is that it's men dressing up as women, now what is wrong with that?" said Bayard.
