What kind of sins are these?

[tomdtomd]

Hello,

I know there are specific names for many sins, e.g., contumely, detraction, calumny, and that many sins are said to be sins of a certain ‘kind’ and ‘against’ one virtue or another (so, for example calumny would be a sin of uncharity and against justice, I believe). Well, with this in mind I was wondering if anyone could tell me the correct names for the following sins, their kind, and which virtues they violate:

1. Purposefully irritating people, i.e., trying to anger or hurt them.
2. Calling people hurtful names.
3. Drawing attention to the faults of others in an attempt to ridicule them.
4. Making split-second judgements about people.
5. Being intolerant of the faults and sins of others.

Thank you for your help.

I would say they are sins against the 8th commandment.

These contradict the virtue of humility.

My answer would be 2 part. First it is a sin against the 2nd Commandment, loving your neighbor. If you love your neighbor you would do those things and secondly but most importantly it is a sin against the 1st Commandment. Loving God with all of your heart… Loving God in accord with the 1st Commandment precludes the other nine!

God Bless!
