New Essay on "The Atlantic" - The Cardinal, the Prime Minster, and Abortion Politics

I have a new essay up here. In it, I talk about the decision by Boston's Archbishop, Cardinal O'Malley, to boycott the graduation of Boston College. BC is honoring Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny, who is sponsoring an abortion bill back home. I work through some of the reasoning and the potentially inconsistent (or at least very arbitrary reasoning) used by O'Malley.
