"Election season is upon us. We've already been treated to debates among the potential Republican nominees and poorly-veiled campaigning by the current President, and we have just under a year left ahead of us for more debates, town hall meetings, questionable campaign promises, and attack ads on television. But don't worry - this post isn't about who should win the Republican nomination or why the Republicans need to beat Obama in 2012. This post is about a topic that transcends partisan politics. Something that has infected our entire political process. Something that we take for granted as simply being 'par for the course' around election time. That 'something' is an offense against the Eighth Commandment, called 'calumny.'"
A recent Catholic Sistas post examines calumny - what it is, how it appears in politics and in our everyday life, and why it is wrong.
