“There seems to be an insane dread of using moral terms, or even condemning anything on moral grounds.  Psychological terms, the lingo of sociology, even medical terms such as ‘complexes’ are invoked with an air of scientific certitude, but bad or good, right or wrong seem to be scrupulously avoided. About the only time the world good is used is when the mother of a bad boy, a mother who completely neglected her husband and her children, is quoted in the press as saying of her son who has just committed murder, ‘He was a good boy.”  Archbishop Fulton Sheen (On Being Human)
