I had a similar thing happen (having what I deemed a *racy* poem accepted at a university with a Christian affiliation) -- maybe it's an attempt to show that Christians/Catholics can be hip and irreverent?

I'm not in the habit of throwing F bombs around in my poetry but I was interested to read your take in part because I once struggled with submitting a certain poem to a literary journal because of this since the journal was based in a Jesuit University. I ended up sending it with a number of others and immediately after dropping the envelope in the mail box I wanted to instantly take it back. I ironically they accepted it. It was the only one of the ones I sent that made it to print in their annual publication. <br /><br />Anyway, good post. Humorous and yet a serious topic to consider. <br /><br />Thanks! Michael A.
