Thou shall not bear false Witness ,, Exodus 20 : 16

Exodus 20 : 16.

I feel this is a major Cornerstone of Christian Faith ,,

Would you commit this if it were the only way to right a dreadful wrong ??

Catechism of the Catholic Church

1753 A good intention (for example, that of helping one’s neighbor) does not make behavior that is intrinsically disordered, such as lying and calumny, good or just. The end does not justify the means. Thus the condemnation of an innocent person cannot be justified as a legitimate means of saving the nation.

That is the ideal. Your question was whether I would commit this. I would hope not, but I’m only human.
