O'Malley Delivers Regis College Graduation Speech

Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley urged Regis College graduates over the weekend to avoid embracing the moral relativism of the secular world, according to the Boston Globe. 

At the Saturday, May 11 graduation ceremony, the Globe reports that O'Malley, archbishop of the Boston Archdiocese, hit heavily in his message on the “gospel of life” and how people of faith need to beware of losing sight of right and wrong.

O'Malley spoke one day after announcing he would not attend Boston College's commencement ceremony because Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny is scheduled to speak.

Kenny supports a bill that would change Irish law to allow abortion if the mother's life is threatened. 

The bill was introduced after international outcry over the death of Savita Halappanavar, an Indian woman who died in an Irish hospital last year after being denied an abortion. Halapppanavar was told by a midwife at the hospital that she could not have an abortion because Ireland was "a Catholic country."
