What is the “sin of human respect”?
Msgr. Charles Pope, Community in Mission
Wednesday, February 8, 2017
“Human respect” seems like a good thing. After all, we ought to respect, honor and appreciate one another. What then is meant by the “sin of human respect”? It is when we fear man more than God; we are more concerned with what people think of us than what God thinks of us. This is an unholy, sinful fear, and is at the root of many of our sins, both of commission and of omission.
