“…by judging others we directly encroach on one of the prerogatives of the Holy Trinity. God is Creator; He alone has the right to judge, for He alone is All-knowing and All-good. We are limited creatures, restricted by time and space. Only those specially gifted are able to penetrate the secrets of the heart, while we most often judge people by their outward actions, habits, looks, lifestyles, etc., all based on external examination and our own subjective – and therefore faulty –experience. Our power of judgement is further handicapped by our sinful nature, our propensity to take notice of our neighbor’s weaknesses.”
(Bishop Kyrill of San Francisco) [Judging; Gossip; Pride]
