Well, if you accuse me of such, prove that I said that while thinking that it was untrue.

Look at your post #215. You were the first to accuse me of not speaking the truth. I offered evidence that I was. You have countered with none.

And only now, you whine about "charity".

You've missed the point. Please re-read, you'll see that I was right.

And, I remember quite clearly US replying to LOTI saying that he had reconsidered the prudence of attending the CCPA Masses. You can go through all his posts and find it yourself, unless if it was in a deleted thread which I suppose is possible.

You have absolutely no reason to believe that I intended to tell a falsehood. That is an essential element of a lie.

Whether it is lawful to judge?

If any one of these be lacking, the judgment will be faulty and unlawful. ... thirdly, 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.

Whether it is unlawful to form a judgment from suspicions?
Now there are three degrees of suspicion. The first degree is when a man begins to doubt of another's goodness from slight indications. ... The second degree is when a man, from slight indications, esteems another man's wickedness as certain. This is a mortal sin, if it be about a grave matter, since it cannot be without contempt of one's neighbor. Hence the same gloss goes on to say: "If then we cannot avoid suspicions, because we are human, we must nevertheless restrain our judgment, and refrain from forming a definite and fixed opinion."

Whether doubts should be interpreted for the best?
Now no man ought to despise or in any way injure another man without urgent cause: and, consequently, unless we have evident indications of a person's wickedness, we ought to deem him good, by interpreting for the best whatever is doubtful about him.
