August's Teaching Moment
Many Catholics seem to be unaware of the fact that talking poorly about someone, namely, the sin of detraction, violates the Eighth Commandment. What is this sin? Detraction is the sin of revealing another person's real faults to a third person without a valid reason, thereby lessening the reputation of that person. The seriousness of the sin of detraction depends upon the gravity of the injury done to the other party. The sin can be either venial or mortal, depending on the circumstances. The Catechism of the Catholic Church notes in paragraph 2477 that, "Respect for the reputation of persons forbids every attitude and word likely to cause them unjust injury." What is in our minds is eventually uttered by our tongues. The tongue is a small member of the body, but it possesses great power — either for good or for evil.

Carolina Catholic interviews Father Charles Murr, priest and author, about his book, Murder in the 33rd Degree

For our first August show, Tara Lewis and I interview our guest, Father Charles Murr, author of Murder in the 33rd Degree,who worked in Rome for many years and studied for the priesthood there. He literally saw history in the making in several ways: He was there for the pontificates of three popes (Popes Paul VI, John Paul I, and John Paul II), and he was friends with Canadian Archbishop Gagnon who was asked by Pope Paul VI to investigate the Roman Curia, the governing body of the Catholic Church due to allegations that Freemasons were controlling the selection of bishops and changing the liturgy/liturgical norms of the Catholic Church. His newest book details his investigation of the Roman Curia and how these three popes reacted to his investigation.

This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's three stations, 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the first two weekends of August.  You can listen on-line live by clicking on the Listen Now tab.  Or, listen 24/7 by going to the Carolina Catholic tab and clicking on the show page.
