II. Respect for the Dignity of Persons

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2285
Scandal takes on a particular gravity by reason of the authority of those who
cause it or the weakness of those who are scandalized. It prompted our Lord to
utter this curse: “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in
me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round
his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.”⁸⁵ Scandal is
grave when given by those who by nature or office are obliged to teach and
educate others. Jesus reproaches the scribes and Pharisees on this account: he
likens them to wolves in sheep’s clothing.⁸⁶
