It's Laetare than you think

Disputations finds the "Laetare Remarks" at the Notre Dame commencement Just what the doctorate ordered.

I note that Judge Noonan found himself able to say:

Genocide is wrong.
Torture is wrong.
Slavery is wrong.

And abortion?

Judge Noonan could not bring himself to say the word "abortion," much less state, "Abortion is wrong."

We're ahead of that curve in Milwaukee. Archbishop Weakland once presided at "the annual liturgical celebration held by the archdiocese's anti-abortion group" and in his homily "The word 'abortion' never passed his lips." (The Education of an Archbishop (1992), by Paul Wilkes, pp. 45-49)
