  LAST YEAR'S GEORGETOWN COMMENCEMENT WAS A SUCCESS Last year Cardinal Francis Arinze spoke to my graduating class at Georgetown. He admonished us that serious religion, the traditional family, and moral fortitude are all necessary for living a good life. He criticized secularism, homosexuality, abortion, euthanasia, and other liberal cultural influences as bad foundations for society and our own lives.
He was criticized for his insensitivity and Georgetown apologized to families of graduating students. It was seen as a disaster. The truth, however, is that I remember the speech at my Commencement address, whereas most graduates do not. They heard the usual, "go out into the world, follow your dreams.
. .
" and forgot it summarily. Arinze had something substantive and memorable to say, and, therefore, he was a success.
