Graduation Wars

Graduation Wars by MSW.  Two things.  First, it is the senior classes that usually decide who they want to speak to them.  Both the Administration and certainly the bishops need to butt out.  End of story.  Second, the bishops document is as much about them not wanting to hear the truth (or have anyone say it) on exactly what can and can't be done about abortion in the political sphere as killing the messangers who have already accepted the truth that abortion is more an issue of identity and electoral politics than a legitimate issue of policy.  The sad fact is, some bishops have let their office be used by the National Right to Life Committee, which really is more a GOP electoral front than anything else.  Sadly, Catholic politicians have not been willing to take the electorally hazardous step of calling the bishops out on what amounts to deliberate deceit by some and simple incompetence on the issue by others.
