WHY DO WE DO THAT? - CATHOLIC LIFE Human Concerns EXPLAINED Question:Is gossip a mortal sin?

Answer: To really ask this question, we must consider the Eighth Commandment: “You shall not bear false witness.” In its reflections on this commandment, The We invite you to help stock the Food Pantry by donating the following items. Catechism of the Catholic Church invites us to not only think about what bearing “false witness” Jiffy Mix Stuffing mix means, but to also consider how we understand Potatoes, boxed Creamed corn the truth and how we communicate more Side dishes Canned milk broadly. This is why so much of this section of the Canned Fruit Hamburger & Tuna Helper Catechism has to do with the gift of language.

Instead, we We recognize that there is an increased need and find the words “detraction” and “calumny,” urgency for employment services and encourage which are actually two forms that gossip can you to contact us for assistance. take, and both can be quite serious.
