Summary

Charity dictates who we reveal the truth to. We learn today that the “right to the communication of truth is not unconditional.” Fr. Mike explains that this means we ought to examine what facts we reveal to others prudently. Fr. Mike highlights the role of mass media in disseminating the truth and the importance of guarding ourselves against gossip. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2488-2499.

This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

0:00.0	Hi, my name's Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Catechism in a Year podcast,
0:09.2	where we encounter God's plan of sheer goodness for us, revealed in scripture and passed down
0:13.2	through the tradition of the Catholic faith. The Catechism in a year is brought to you by

0:51.3	Yesterday we talked about the offenses against truth. And today we're looking at

1:05.4	fraternal charity. So we'd mentioned this yesterday, but paragraph 2488 highlights the right to the
1:10.7	communication of the
1:11.5	truth is not unconditional. And so we're going to look at some of those conditions, as well as
1:15.4	looking at the sacrament of reconciliation, because there is a seal of the sacrament of reconciliation
1:19.5	where a priest, we talked about this before, may not reveal what was ever spoken in confession,
1:24.6	as well as we're looking at the use of social communications media. And so
