Last week, a person I know started telling me mean things about our pastor and included negative or sarcastic comments about our deacon and associate. None of these were unethical type of claims mind you, just gossip. I think she was mad that her child did not get into the parish’s private school. She seemed very bitter about it and claimed it was because she didn’t make enough money. So, she’s been so ugly about the entire staff. It really hurt my heart. :mad::(:(I tried to defend them as I much as I could, but she was so aggressive and insistent.

Should I say something to her about the damage she is causing? This did not change my opinion of our pastoral staff. However, it did change my opinion of her for defiling these people.🤷
 
don’t be around her so that people won’t assume you are like her…pray a divine mercy chaplet for her for god to change her into a better person…and don’t worry if you could see through her gossip and malice then others will too,…
 
Please pray for her! And tell her that gossip is a sin! (Even if it’s true!) I think it’s called the sin of detraction.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for her; she has recourse to thee.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for her; she recourse to thee.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for her; she has recourse to thee.

Amen.
 
I agree with the above replies to pray for her.

There is someone I know in my parish who also does the same thing with our pastor.
I find myself praying for her that her heart may become more merciful.
 
I would simply change the subject whenever she starts talking like that.

I have never heard of the sin of detraction. Could you tell me more?
