Judging people ... I agree. Judging sin ... well, aren’t we called to do that? To call out our brothers and sisters when they err? We need to hold each other accountable. Otherwise, sinful behavior gets watered down.

If you don’t learn to judge others, you don’t learn from their mistakes and you don’t protect yourself from mishap. Used to think the same way the Pope directs and then realized that you don’t grow as a human being if you don’t have good judgement. If you are not judgemental, you would open all the prisons and let those that were judged to be a danger to us out into society.

Yes we are, but not for the reasons that we usually do it.

It's usually to point fingers in judgment and condemnation and tear down, not realizing that within each one of us doing the finger pointing is the potential do engage in the same sin we are condemning in others.

We're all human and there is no temptation but what is common to man.

EVERY. LAST. ONE. OF. US.

It's just a matter of circumstances and opportunities that we choose different paths, but that is nothing to brag on.

I look back at situations in my life where I could have really gone off the rails and ruined my life and I can now see that God was working in my life to protect me from myself for not letting those situations go where they could have.
