Episode notes
Don't Rush Judgments on Scandals
- Avoid rushing to judgment on unconfirmed allegations to prevent spreading falsehoods.
- Instead, pray and wait for moral certainty before forming opinions.
Guard Privacy and Public Disclosure
- Reveal a person's sins publicly only if it protects others or exposes serious wrongdoing.
- Otherwise, avoid detraction by not sharing private faults without valid reason.
Lay Apologists Need Accountability

- Lay apologists have a vital role and need accountability like clergy do to prevent scandal.
