1) SLANDER is never permitted because it's a LIE.

2) DETRACTION.  In the case of secret things that cannot harm others, it's sinful (the gravity of which depends directly on the gravity of the fault in question).  We have an obligation, however, to help protect people from harm first, even if as a secondary unintended consequence a person might lose his good name.

In the meantime, 008, you may in fact be slandering individuals in accusing them of commiting the "mortal sin" of slander.  If what they are saying is true, then your accusations of slander are in fact slanderous.

Ironically, the NO has covered the tracks of various predators (and enabled them to commit more and more sins against children) precisely by using false arguments from "charity".

For the zillionth time:

Did Our Lord or Saint John the Baptist pull out Polaroids or notarized docuмents when he lit up the Pharisees, calling them VIPERS before masses of people?

Be specific and prove every allegation.

FWIW:

The following was taken from the testimony of Richard Sipe at a sex abuse trial:

"sɛҳuąƖ violations by their nature are difficult to substantiate because the actions are most commonly executed without a third party observer. The means of determining the facts of an allegation or the truth of denial are usually derivative rather than direct. Priests who abuse frequently instruct or threaten their victims to keep silent. Those threats include warnings that the young person will go to hell, or that he, she or parents will be harmed if the abuse is not kept secret. Other means of insuring secrecy are by connecting the abuse directly with a religious ritual. For instance the abuse takes place in church, or before or after Mass while the priest is still in his vestments, or forcing the youngster to make a sacramental confession. Records exist of a priest anointing his victims with a sign of the cross... Another horrendous example is of a priest ... to prove to her that God blessed his sɛҳuąƖ activity.

51.    "Rumors, hearsay, about abusing priests are common and a valid source of information and an important means of child protection if respected and adequately investigated. Rumors form a valid alert to danger and are frequently the most powerful indication to church officials of abuse. The source of these rumors often are grounded in the fact of abuse that can be shared by the victim only with one of his or her equally powerless friends or family members. At times it is as subtle as the abused telling friends or classmates to "watch out for him." Sometimes a minor who resists a sɛҳuąƖ proposition by a priest, and tells others, "Father is a fag" starts the chain of exposure. Knowledge by rumor can be widespread and has been available for investigation within the clerical community for decades.

52.    "Bishops and superiors most frequently irresponsibly and negligently dismiss rumors without reasonable investigation. Bishops, many who also fear exposure of their own sɛҳuąƖ activities have continued to exclude themselves from oversight in the directives they instituted in 2002 to deal with the problem of abuse by priests and other church employees."
