I'll leave all that condemnation stuff to you. You seem to have a real good handle on it.

What did Lansing say that was so condemning? I really don't understand.

Would you call the Church condemning in this statement from the Catechism?

1867 The catechetical tradition also recalls that there are "sins that cry to heaven": the blood of Abel, the sin of the Sodomites, the cry of the people oppressed in Egypt, the cry of the foreigner, the widow, and the orphan, injustice to the wage earner.

Seems that the first dichotomy is whether it is or is not sin. Then, who can determine what is sin. Then, whether one should or should not condemn sin. Then, who can righteously do such condemning.

Looks like a layered protection scheme, to me.
