There is an article in the National Catholic Registrar titled Facebook, Aquinas and the Sins Of Free Speech I’ve written about this many times. One other thing I’d add. This kind of sin is really insidious because it works in the exact opposite way of most sin. Generally, we don’t exactly go around sharing our sins with other people. “Hey Tom, I totally lied under oath the other day!” “Hey, did I tell you I was drunk Saturday and had a hit and run?” “Boss, look at what I stole from work!” Put simply, with most sins, we tend to hide the fact that we have committed them. We try to keep them hidden, either because we are ashamed of them in themselves, or because we would be ashamed by what people would think if they knew. Slander, detraction, gossip, and so on are by definition
