A RESOLUTION DENOUNCING THE LOCAL
PRODUCTION OF THE PLAY "SR. MARY IGNATIUS
EXPLAINS IT ALL TO YOU" AS BEING AN
OFFENSIVE TRAVESTY ON THE RELIGIOUS
VALUES HELD IN HIGH REGARD BY A LARGE
NUMBER OF CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF MIAMI.
WHEREAS, the City Commission has found it necessary in
the past to denounce displays of racial intolerance; and
WHEREAS, religious intolerance and anti -religious
prejudice, if not publicly condemned, will surely grow,
thereby stifling and hampering the development of harmony and
peace in any community; and
WHEREAS, a theatrical play currently being staged in the
City is a travesty on the values of Catholic education and
has been the subject of protest and objection by civic and
religious organizations, including the National Conference of
Christians and Jews; and
-� WHEREAS, the herein denouncement and expression of
concern of religious bigotry is deemed even more appropriate
because of the production being held during the Lenten season
observed as a period of religious significance by many
members of the Christian faith in this community;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA:
i Section 1. The local production of the play "SR.
i
s MARY IGNATIUS EXPLAINS IT ALL TO YOU" is hereby denounced as
being an offensive travesty on the religious values held in
high regard by a large number of citizens of the City of
Miami.
