Para Katolik modenis, amat menggemari injil ini “ Janganlah kamu menghakimi.”(Lukas 6:37) Tetapi mereka lupa bahawa Tuhan Yesus Kristus menyatakan demikian di dalam Alkitab: “ Waspadalah terhadap nabi-nabi palsu…Dari buahnya lah kamu akan mengenal mereka." (Matius 7: 15-16) Seorang Katolik tidak boleh menghakimi seseorang (paderi, uskup, para religius dan umat) secara berat sebelah atau tanpa bukti yang kukuh, tetapi Kristus telah menyatakan bahawa iman dan kepercayaan yang diajari-Nya harus dijaga senantiasa. Bagaimana pula kita dapat melakukan hal yang demikian jika kita tidak langsung memandang berat dan bersikap tegas terhadap bahan bacaan, ceramah yang disampaikan dan langsung tiada kritikan terhadap sikap yang lewa sahaja? Kerana nila setitik, rosak sebelanga…Kalau langkah awal perlu diambil untuk menyelamatkan sebelanga itu, ia
Catholic modernists have singled out from the gospels their favourite phrase "Thou shalt not judge." (Luke 6:37) But they ignore the fact that immediately after, Our Lord said: "Beware of false prophets...by their fruits you shall know them." (Matthew 7:15-16) A Catholic must not make ill-considered judgements on the faults and personal actions of his brethren (whether bishop, priest, religious and laypeople), but Christ has commanded him to preserve his faith, and how can he do this without casting a critical eye upon what he is given to read or to hear? As the saying of a malay proverb, “Because of a drop of blue dye, a whole pot of milk is contaminated”…therefore prevention is better and easier than to cure…Our Lord also said, "But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, nor hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth." (Apocalypse 3: 16)
