III. Offenses Against Truth

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2477
Respect for the reputation of persons forbids every attitude and word likely to
cause them unjust injury.²⁷⁷ He becomes guilty:
– of rash judgment who, even tacitly, assumes as true, without sufficient
foundation, the moral fault of a neighbor;
– of detraction who, without objectively valid reason, discloses another’s
faults and failings to persons who did not know them;²⁷⁸
– of calumny who, by remarks contrary to the truth, harms the reputation of
others and gives occasion for false judgments concerning them.
