The Obligation of Clear, Compassionate Correction of the Sinner – A Homily for the 23rd Sunday of the Year

Msgr. Charles Pope addressed the duty to correct sinners with clarity and compassion during a homily for the 23rd Sunday of the Year.

Msgr. Pope noted a widespread belief that correcting others constitutes judging them. He argued that when people accuse others of judging, they are performing the very judgment they condemn. He clarified that the focus of such correction should be on the sin rather than the person.
