Catholic Moderation   [Jonah Goldberg]

From a reader in response to today's column:

If this means nothing to you, ask an older Catholic:

One of Buckley's greatest one-liners, printed in National Review, A Journal of Fact and Opinion  (back before it became NR), c. 1964:

If a liberal Catholic is dying, does he ask the priest to give him Moderate Unction?

(You can check your index if you like, but I'll bet I got it nearly exactly right.)
