Are you telling me I can never judge somebody? Father Hugh Barber, next.

Hello and welcome to Focus the Catholic Answers Podcast with Living Understanding

and Defending Your Catholic Faith. I'm Psy Kill at Your Hosts and are you judgmental?

Are you resentful of other people because of the judgments you make about them?

Well Jesus has some teachings about that and we can often think that the teachings of Jesus

that we are not to judge others are for their benefit that he's telling us that so that

we'll give the gift of our lack of judgment to other people but actually by teaching that

he's giving a gift to us. Father Hugh Barber is our guest today and we discuss that

and one of the great things to remember about Jesus' teaching on judgment is it includes this

little nugget that you'll be judged as you judge. So the judgment that Jesus will pass on you

can be a very very easy one. You just have to do that for other people. Here's what Father Hugh had to say.

Father Hugh Barber, thank you for being with us again. Happy to be here. I find that other people,

not me, end up judging others and having resentments. I've noticed people have that problem too.

But not you either. No, no, no. I'm glad to hear it. So let's talk about those poor souls who do end up

judgmental and resentful. Yeah, that's just, I mean, I'm glad we can talk about a problem that

I've never had. I'm not. Right. But I do have a lot of experience with people that I judge

are that way. So you can draw on that. Yeah, I can draw on that. Even though I'm not a judgment

of the person and the people that annoy me who are resentful but I won't be resentful myself.

Yes. There you go. That's enough of the humor now. We can stop. Okay. In any case, so you've got

it set up. So I'll set up. Yeah. So, I mean, first of all, this is a very, very kind of interior

problem to have. This is, you know, this is like getting right to the core of us when the Lord

talks about judgment and that kind of thing. So maybe refresh us on what he says and what it means.
