I was wondering if we, as Catholics, should tell the whole truth. I mean I do to the best of my abilty, but some people tell me that I am rude for doing so. Can anyone tell me what the CHURCH teaches.
Very true, but in some cases kindness goes unrecognized, eh?There is almost always an honest way to be kind.
True.There is also such a thing as prudence.
I don’t tell my kids everything they ask about until they are ready to hear it. The same could even be true with a husband and wife in certain situations, regarding some dirty laundry from decades ago. These things should be discussed, but there may be situations where one needs to determine how and when to say certain things.
This is true but one doesn’t always need to volunteer a truthful statement. If someone asks how their new haircut looks, I would be obliged to give an honest answer. If they don’t ask I don’t feel the need to give them the honest truth.There is almost always an honest way to be kind.
You can always tell the truth and be diplomatic, this will get you far in many conversastions…I was wondering if we, as Catholics, should tell the whole truth. I mean I do to the best of my abilty, but some people tell me that I am rude for doing so. Can anyone tell me what the CHURCH teaches.
