I just finished uploading a new dramatic audio recording of a homily from the 1800s on lying, you can listen to it hear if you are interested
alleluiaaudiobooks.com/catholic-homilies-lying/
On of the things the Priest said really struck me
The most abominable slanders pass from mouth to mouth ; they are listened to and repeated with the greatest interest and eagerness, without any trouble being taken to ascertain whether what is said is true or not. **These people who are so free with their tongues never seem to imagine for a moment that, even when circumstances would justify them—and it is very seldom that they do—in telling a fact bearing against their neighbor they are under an obligation first to find out by careful examination whether it be indeed a fact; otherwise the sin of an injurious lie will rest on their souls. **Source
It is very easy today to believe almost any scandal or bad conduct that is suggested because of the amount of bad going on in front of our eyes, but although what the priest seems obvious after reading it I must acknowledge that I think that means there is a great velocity of possible injurious lies being said in the internet Catholic community at large.
I suppose the only way to deal with it is to demand actual proof before repeating stuff, any thoughts?
