Catholic Teaching Is Valid for Everyone

Angie Allen of Catholic Exchange argues that Catholic teaching remains applicable to all people, responding to the use of the phrase "Who am I to judge?" in moral discussions.

Allen notes that this phrase was used by an acquaintance regarding an out-of-marriage relationship and later by Pope Francis regarding a moral issue. She suggests that using such language implies that others should simply accept situations without thinking.

Citing St. Thomas Aquinas, Allen writes that the most helpful action a friend can take is to lead others toward the truth.
