Homilies about moral discernment

When is it Okay to Judge? Understanding Jesus' Command "Do Not Judge"

The homily challenges the common interpretation of "Do not judge," clarifying that Jesus forbids a critical, condemning spirit, not moral discernment. The priest shares a personal anecdote about confronting a man wearing an inappropriate shirt at a funeral, highlighting the struggle between making moral judgments and avoiding hypocrisy. He emphasizes the importance of addressing one's own faults before attempting to correct others, and calls for forgiveness, teaching goodness, and extending invitations into God's kingdom instead of condemnation.
