Rules for Fraternal Correction

  • It is sometimes difficult to know when or whether we have a duty to adminish sinners.

    Toward that end, a friend of mine made the attached chart which I found very helpful, and wanted to share.

    It was based on a sermon found in The Pulpit Orator series from the early 20th century.

    PS: I believe you need to be logged in to see the chart.
    Rom 5: 20 - "But where sin increased, grace abounded all the more."

  • So if I understand this right, you wouldn't admonish the sinner that knows the action is a sin?

    For example, if family members are fallen away from the Faith and not attending Mass, you might mention it and leave them be? Not remind them that they will go to Hell for straying from the Faith?
    We conclude logically that religion can give an efficacious and truly realistic answer to the great modern problems only if it is a religion that is profoundly lived, not simply a superficial and cheap religion made up of some vocal prayers and some ceremonies...

    I got an error message. Is there any way of enlarging this chart?

  • Wonderful! Thank you for posting this helpful chart.

    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.
