Oh Lord, Mr. Chips. This has nothing to do with Michelangelo and his artistic nudes. Your underlying assumption is apparently that Dr. Rice's thoughts are the product of cultural prudery or philistine ignorance --- but this is not the case.

Dr. Rice is civilized and sophisticated in every sense of the word. Moreover, it would be difficult to find anyone more respectful of all people whatever their points of view, more courteous in debate, or more loving and beloved by generations of students who were doubly privileged to learn from him as a teacher and to know him as a man.

So his writings, replete with Catholic wisdom, are now flicked aside by the student editor of the Notre Dame newspaper because he does not repeat the stuttering memes of the current set of cultural conformists. How pathetic this school has become.

Here's Dr. Rice's rejected article:

Prof. Rice on Homosexual Activity: 'Right or Wrong?' What Notre Dame Would not Print

As usual, wonderful piece by Professor Rice. Notre Dame is looking worse and worse as the time ticks on ... they need so much prayer ...
