In his address to the graduates Bish
op O’Hara told them that there was
something very fitting in holding a
nureses’ graduation in a sacred place
because of the sacred character of their
work
Bishop O'Hara condemned what he
Called the “paganism and material
ism” that have raised their ugly heads
in certain fields of medicine and sur
gery, hiding their ugliness under at
tractive disguises. Moral law, he said
is eternal and immutable and does
not change to suit changing philoso
phies and sciences. This warning was
given to the graduates, he said, in or
der. that they may be safeguarded
against “immoral trends so notice
able today” in the sciences with which
they are associated. Specifically Bish
op O'Hara condemned what he term
ed “so-called mercy killing’’, about
which some doctors have not hesitated
to boast.
