"Sometimes [counsels and works of mercy] should be concealed or deferred, on account of the scandal of the little ones." ST II-II, 43, 7 ad 4.
"In sacrilege we find a special aspect of deformity, namely, the violation of a sacred thing by treating it irreverently." ST II-II, 99, 2.
Segment 4 on Scandal and Piety. This is the LAST segment of our discussion of the text: Is it Virtuous to Criticize the Pope? by Joanne M.M. Baker, published by Homiletic and Pastoral Review. For the Summa Theologiae texts cited in the article - scroll down and read Pt II, Scandal and Piety.
Thanks for your comment cjandjj! Now I'm wondering what Great Books college you attended.
I was very blessed to attend a Great Books college and I do believe that is why I can be, to this day, 100% supportive of Our Holy Father, whoever he may be.
Thank you very much :)
