Forget the Gestapo... The real question is what you say when grandma asks you if you liked her potato salad.

“Otherwise we despair of the real prospect of a life of sanctity”…that did it for me right there! Thank Fr.Gregory.

If killing in self defense is not sinful, then lying in self defense being sinful seems rather inconsistent. So you can shoot the gestapo in the face but you can't lie to them, apparently.

How about the angel Raphael's lie in Tobit?

What great timing and insight! I had done this recently where “I lied to bring about good”. Nonetheless, I consulted the Catechism and made my confession.
May God bless you and keep you.

I believe there is as much difference between a malicious lie and an officious lie as between killing and murder. Malicious lie is like murder, which can never be justified and officious lie is like killing, which is justified in cases like Just War. And I think it's not for nothing that the 8th commandment is worded like "shall not BEAR FALSE WITNESS against your neighbor", rather than "shall NOT LIE"... Only malicious lie can qualify as BEARING FALSE WITNESS AGAINST our NEIGHBOR.

As always, a courageous and cogent summary of a multifaceted question. Thanks, Fr. Gregory!

I have always found it interesting how different christians talk about people like Jacob, Tamar, Rahab (obvious parallel with your example), and even David (for my argument I’m talking about his feigned madness). In the first two most people see their actions as wrong and a small minority seem to think that there’s an exception to be made because they were still used of God in their deceit. With Rahab I have found probably half who recognize that regardless of her virtuous intentions it’s nonetheless a sin. In war, it seems, there is some allowance, through the example of Gideon, for forms of deception. Also the two spies sent to Jericho were spies sent by Joshua (with the assumed approval of God since He commanded Moses to send 12 spies earlier) and ostensibly had to act in a deceptive manner in order to get inside of a city with such thick walls. So we aren’t told that marching in a wide open plain in bright colors is the only way to honorably fight. At the same time shouldn’t David when he fled to Gath have trusted God because He promised to make him king and not faked madness? And now we come to the modern age where things seem to be even more complicated.

God bless you! You are a great witness to the faith!

Great, succinct thoughts! Loved this.
It is jaw-dropping to me that if we deny Jesus to men, that some Christians say Jesus will not deny them to His Father. He actually explicitly said He would deny them.
We simply cannot prioritize our physical life and comforts over our faith in Christ.
“You don’t have to be faithful if life gets really, really hard” says the world.
“I have overcome the world” says our Lord, Jesus, God Incarnate.
Who should we strive to listen to and follow?

Thanks Father!
@pauldudley1200
Thanks for explaining this! God bless!
@Joyfulminimalist
I’m confused. If I had people intending to harm, asking me if I had someone housed in my home and I lie and say no, that’s not a good thing?

Thank you for your sincere words. We need honest priests. God bless you.
@danielsampong6607
I don’t know if someone answers this for Fr Pine but James references Rahab from Joshua who aided the spies by what seems like lying and she is credited as a good example. If like a commentary on that
