It all depends on the circumstance and the authority you have over an individual (stranger vs your child etc etc ) . We are children of the light and we don't want someone spiritually dying or rotting in dangerous sin.   #3   Jan 19, '13, 5:25 pm odile53 Regular Member   Join Date: July 16, 2010 Posts: 2,249 Religion: Catholic Re: What does Admonish the Sinner involve? Primarily, it involves calling attention to a certain thing the person is doing as being sinful, and it is best done (in my opinion) diplomatically, privately, charitably, and with an eye to educate. Also recall it is but one of the seven spiritual works of mercy. If done badly, i.e., in a shrill, accusatory, and condemnatory manner, it may actually make the sinner dig his heels in deeper rather than stop and reconsider his behavior. Be very careful when doing it, and make sure you can do it well before proceeding. And be absolutely certain that you yourself are not giving bad example in the same matter! __________________ Odile53 "Lord, spare us from sour-faced saints!"---St. Teresa of Avila   #4   Jan 21, '13, 5:12 pm PJM Senior Member   Join Date: August 31, 2008 Posts: 8,590 Religion: Informed, practicing RomanCatholic Re: What does Admonish the Sinner involve?

Caution: carefully and prayerfully Prudence and Charity are requisites. Let God present the opportunity PRAY B4 doing it for guidence Always do it PRIVATELY Do it factually and be prepared to KNOW and defend the REASON WHY it is sinful The Bible says; the Catechism says, the Cchurch Teaches ect. NEVER presented as a personal opinion. Do not force; SHARE the truth; don't condem! Let God be the Judge Thank you for asking and most importantly Know and live OUR Faith publically.
