Religion is a wonderful and useful tool.  For example, it can be used to judge and attack others, while claiming to be merely applying the laws of God to the allegedly erring individual.  Thsue, one may invoke the last judgment against someone with whom disagrees.  Some might suggest such conduct is hypocritical and point to Jesus' discussion of removing the beam in one's eye, which would raise the question of whether the person ignoring this teaching is merely ignorant of it or is intentionally ignoring the teaching.  Fortunately, as Catholics were are not constrained by the contents of the gospel, and can rely upon tradition, habits, canon, law, rules, whatever, to justify our actions as we see fit.  Correct, however, is the comment on small minds, but one must wonder if the mind behind that comment fully appreciates the applicability.
