Can I Judge?

7th Sunday in Ordinary Time

This weekend Jesus tells us, "Stop judging and you will not be judged."  Seems straightforward...but it also seems to put us as followers of Jesus in a crossfire.  On the one hand, God shows us the path to a fulfilled life in this world and the next, asks us to follow it, and invites us to challenge others to do the same.  On the other hand, when we challenge others to follow this path, when we stand up and say that certain actions are right and wrong, that certain decisions are good and bad, we're told, "Stop judging!"  So can I judge, or can't I?  (Hint: the answer to that questions is, "Correct!").  Listen to find out why!
