Well, graduate is both a transitive and an intransitive verb:
1. intransitive verb finish school or college: to receive a diploma or degree after completing a course of study in a school, college, or university
We both graduated from high school in 1996.
2. transitive verb give a certificate: to give a diploma or degree to a student completing a course of study
3. intransitive verb move up: to move upward from one level or activity to another
I've graduated from skiing to snowboarding.
4. transitive verb mark something with degrees or levels: to mark something with units of measurement
5. transitive verb sort things by differences: to sort things into groups according to quality, size, or type
I'm having trouble seeing what it was to which you objected, Fr. Steve.
