Have you ever experienced being stuck in the snow...hearing your wheels spinning fruitlessly while your car becomes a real slave to the elements...getting nowhere fast...???
Is there such a thing as a ‘NATIONAL’ SIN...???
Are you aware of the sin of DETRACTION... Detraction is not a common word today, but the thing it signifies is all too common. Indeed, known by another name—gossip—it may be one of the most common sins throughout all of human history. As Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J., writes in his Modern Catholic Dictionary, detraction is "Revealing something about another that is true but harmful to that person's reputation."
