Podcasts about Detraction

Read Online“Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove that splinter from your eye,' while the wooden beam is in your eye? You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye.” Matthew 7:3–5It is easy to judge another. A certain satisfaction comes from it; otherwise, one would not engage in such an action. In fact, every sin we commit brings with it a certain degree of satisfaction. Of course, the satisfaction is purely emotional, passing, disordered, and ultimately very destructive to our souls. A judgmental heart presumes the worst about another's words or actions. The Catechism of the Catholic Church warns against rash judgment as an offense against truth (CCC 2477). We commit this sin when we assume, without sufficient evidence, the moral fault of another. This often manifests as gossip, detraction, or slander. While gossip may sometimes involve truth, it becomes sinful when it harms another's reputation without a just cause. Detraction needlessly exposes another's real faults, while slander distorts the truth and spreads falsehood. Each of these acts flows from a heart that finds disordered satisfaction in condemning rather than in mercy.Every time we judge another unfairly—whether through interior criticism or public condemnation—we fall into this sin. To remedy this, we must examine our motivations. Sin is deceptive, especially to the one who commits it. The sin of judging another is particularly insidious because it often feels justified, even appearing as a moral obligation. This was the sin of the scribes and Pharisees. They judged others, interpreting the Law of Moses through their rigid traditions rather than true righteousness. Their self-righteousness convinced them they were acting in God's name. But they were blinded by pride, which not only harmed others but also endangered their souls. A judgmental heart is difficult to overcome. Doing so requires shedding disordered feelings and hurts and turning to the light of God's Wisdom. This will hurt because we must admit our sin. When another's words or actions offend us, it is even harder to face our own sin first. Jesus makes it clear, however, that unless we first remove the “wooden beam” in our own eye, we cannot remove the “splinter” in another's. The only way to remove the wooden beam in our own eye is to grow in the virtue of mercy. We must love every sinner—especially those who have harmed us—to such a degree that every passion of our soul is transformed by mercy. With our minds, we must perceive and embrace God's truth about mercy, and with our wills, we must choose it. Only when we do so over and over again—forming a habit, or virtue—will our passions align with mercy. The good news—for us and for those we tend to judge—is that when the virtue of mercy permeates not only our minds and wills but also our feelings and passions, we begin to discover freedom from the disordered satisfaction that trapped us in our judgmental hearts. From there, enlightened by God's wisdom and grace, we will be able to lovingly, compassionately, and sincerely help others see the error of their ways—not by judging and condemning them, but by loving them and guiding them toward the same freedom in Christ. Reflect today on any sinful habits you struggle with, especially a judgmental heart. Do you ever feel justified in your judgment of others? Is there a degree of disordered satisfaction you gain from that sin? Humble yourself before God's mercy if these questions challenge you, and don't be afraid to acknowledge the wooden beam in your eye. Beg for freedom from a judgmental spirit and embrace the far greater gift of mercy. Though challenging, such an exercise is ultimately freeing and will enable you to assist those who need God's mercy the most. Most merciful God, I come before You and humbly acknowledge my struggle with a judgmental heart. When I am hurt or offended, I am tempted to lash out, condemn, and presume the worst of others. But You, O Lord, see all things with perfect wisdom and mercy. Please free me from this sin, purify my heart, and transform me into an instrument of Your love and compassion. May I judge no one apart from Your Truth and Justice, and may I always extend the mercy that I myself long to receive. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: The Sermon On the Mount, by Carl Heinrich BlochSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

As St. James instructs, if any man thinks himself religious but does not control his tongue, his religion is vain. The sins of the tongue are, unfortunately, many and come all too easy. Detraction, gossip, and calumny are among these grave sins of the tongue that imperil our souls; therefore, we must be vigilant in learning to bridle our tongues and make reparations when we fail to do so.

Welcome to another fragment - known as Detraction, or An Interlude of Detraction, or Light Judgement, Verity and Justice – by the more literal of title givers. We have no idea what the title actually is. It was printed around 1550, and could date between 1533 and the break with Rome and 1553, when Edward VI popped his clogs. So 1550ish. Detraction was played by Simon Nader, Light Judgement by Rob Myson and Verity by Heydn McCabe Detraction was hosted and produced by Robert Crighton Our patrons received this episode in February 2023 - approx. 8 months early.

Granting that rash judgements of fellow human beings are wrong, what do we do when the sin is publicly known and/or the sin is very serious? Should I condemn the person then? No! In this episode we are planning to finish reading the long treatment of the need for organized “spiritual exercises” in the Spiritual Combat. “Exercises” are practiced by militaries. They have various plans and methods, and simulated situations in which they figure out what to do against an enemy. We have been studying the methods we need to overcome the subtleties of the devil, the world, and fallen human nature (the flesh) if we want to grow in virtue. He ends with one of the most difficult trials: the temptation to rash judgment. What is rash judgment? Aquinas explains it this way: when the reason lacks certainty, as when a man, without any solid motive, forms a judgment on some doubtful or hidden matter, and then it is called judgment by "suspicion" or "rash" judgment. In other words, if we reach “certainty” too easily, without sufficient EVIDENCE, then we call it rash judgment or suspicion. There are so many hidden things about other people and their pasts that we rarely are in a position to be CERTAIN about their hearts. But what if it is a public sin? In charity, look for an excuse for the person. Look for a hidden virtue in the person that this public sin will keep hidden… Remember that this fault may one day help the person reach a deeper self-knowledge and humility. What if the sin is very serious and the person is not repenting? Turn your mind to Heaven and God's inscrutable wisdom… Remember: some saints were terrible sinners earlier in life… Even those who were at the heights of holiness have fallen… Who should I criticize then? - Myself! But with gentleness! Where do my good thoughts of others come from? - The Holy Spirit! What do I need to watch out for? Detraction, saying evil about others unnecessarily. Condemning others. Being attentive to faults of others. Magnifying, making the faults of others seem larger and worse. Focusing on smallest faults of others when no large ones exist.
