I agree. Forgiveness should know no bounds.

But remember the spiritual works of mercy. Sometimes you have to judge people in order to help them. Like a holy priest once said , " Sometimes you have to call a spade a spade."
When you see someone about to step off a cliff you don’t look away."
And priests judge all the time in confession.
But be merciful.
I remember a great quote from a Saint, " When you see someone sin just say to yourself the temptation must have been very strong."
Another piece of advice was to think of the worst thing you have ever done when pride pops up. We can do the same when we’re judging others. Unless the thing we remember causes more sins.
