The Catechism Simply Explained by Canon Cafferata
207. Does the fifth Commandment forbid anger?
Church of the Child Jesus and St. Joseph
The fifth Commandment forbids anger, and, still more, hatred and revenge.
208. Why are scandal and bad example forbidden by the fifth Commandment?
Scandal and bad example are forbidden by the fifth Commandment because they lead
to the injury and spiritual death of our neighbour's soul.

TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS
Many people misunderstand the word "scandal”, and think it means saying evil things
about someone; but this is really calumny, or detraction (see 221). "Scandal" comes from
a Latin word (scandalum) which means a stumbling-block, something put in a person's
way to trip him up and make him fall. A spiritual scandal is, then, something which is
done to make, or is likely to make, a person fall into sin. Bad example is like scandal, but
not quite so wicked. The amount of sin, in scandal and bad example, depends on the
gravity of the injury we do our neighbour's soul.
THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT
209. What is the sixth Commandment?
The sixth Commandment is, "Thou shalt not commit adultery.”
210. What does the sixth Commandment forbid?
The sixth Commandment forbids all sins of impurity with another's wife or husband.
Adultery is a crime against the sanctity of marriage; it is also a grave sin of injustice. Its
consequences are disastrous for family life.
211. Does the sixth Commandment forbid whatever is contrary to holy purity?
The sixth Commandment forbids whatever is contrary to holy purity in looks, words, or
actions.
The eyes are called the windows of the soul; death enters into the soul through them.
Evil conversation is a very fruitful source of sin.
Unchaste actions, whether alone or with others, are forbidden by this Commandment. A
very grave form of such action is committed by those married couples who directly impede by contraceptive methods the first end of marriage, which is the procreation of
children.
