THE EIGHTH COMMANDMENT OF GOD.
In the Eighth Commandment God forbids us to detract from our neighbor's honor, or bear false witness of any kind

THE PROHIBITION AGAINST INJURING OUR NEIGHBOR IN HIS HONOR.
  1. A good reputation is a precious possession, for it enables us to gain riches for time and for eternity.
  2. Above all we ought to strive to acquire a good name among men, and for that reason we -ought to let our good works be known, and we ought to defend our character if it be aspersed to any great extent.
  3. Furthermore, we ought to refrain from everything that may wound our neighbor's honor. Thus suspicion, detraction, slander, and abuse are forbidden, also listening with pleasure when our neighbor is spoken against.
  4. He who has injured his neighbor's reputation is strictly bound to restore his good name; either by apologizing, if the offence was committed in private, or by publicly retracting his words, if they were spoken before others.
  5. Those who do not endeavor to repair the harm they have done by slandering their neighbor, cannot obtain pardon from God, nor absolution from the priest.


What are the Reasons which should Deter us from Injuring our Neighbor's Good Name ?
  1. He who is severe in his judgment of his neighbor, will in his turn be judged severely by God.
  2. To judge one's fellow-man is to commit an offence against God, for it is an usurpation of His rights.
  3. He who robs another of his good name is often severely punished by God upon earth; not unfrequently he is overtaken by the same calamity which he sought to bring on his neighbor.
  4. He who indulges a habit of detraction is in danger of losing his soul.
