Last Sunday I was at Mass, and the priest read these Scriptures below (1).
1) From my Sacred Reference Text:
From the book of the prophet Ezekiel
This word of the Lord was addressed to me: «O son of man, I have set you as a sentinel for the house of Israel. When you hear a word from my mouth, you will have to warn them from me. If I say to the wicked man: “You wicked man, you will die,” and you do not speak to the wicked man to desist from his conduct, he, the wicked man, will die for his iniquity, but for his death I will ask you to account. But if you warn the wicked man of his conduct so that he may repent and he does not repent of his conduct, he will die for his iniquity, but you will be saved."
[hr]
From the gospel according to Matthew
At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «If your brother sins against you, go and warn himbetween you and him alone; if he listens to you, you will have gained your brother; if he does not listen, take one or two more people with you, so that everything can be resolved on the word of two or three witnesses. If he doesn't listen to them, tell the community ; and if he does not even listen to the community, let him be to you like the pagan and the tax collector. Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Truly I say to you again: if two of you on earth agree to ask for anything, my Father who is in heaven will give it to them. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them."
This thing, in practice, has never been put into practice. That is, the CCAR, as my Italian atheist friends and enemies called it, or the Roman Catholic Apostolic Church, has always been careful to do things as God commands, or exactly as it is written in that passage of the Gospel that you have just read. It is something that is very difficult to do, especially if the person you are correcting, and therefore trying to save, is someone you are somehow dependent on. Maybe your CEO, who steals money from the contracts for which he signs, or systematically screws all the secretaries. Both those who work for him and those who work for his subordinates, if they are prettier and younger than him. Because that's what needs to be done. That is to say, doctors must be sent to where the most serious patient is. Regardless of how dangerous that patient may be. It is possible to do something like this. I myself know a person who started jumping on his administrator's table, telling him to stop fussing over million-dollar contracts and to fu€k three or four colleagues. An epic scene. They still talk about it throughout the valley, and years later. And, since those facts were all very true, the author of that row was not only not fired, but was in a certain way promoted. Surely, out of fear that he would make more mess, putting the administrator in total shit.

Think about it too. How many people could have been saved, in these last two thousand years, if we had all always acted like this, that is, like diligent and courageous firefighters, who pounced on sin as soon as it began to be committed? It would become almost impossible to steal, embezzle, commit adultery, and all the rest. And this is precisely what the Carpenter's Son ordered us to do. And this is precisely what we will have to do, in these troubled and terrible days that, from now on, we have left to live through. Starting with the CEOs. And this is because the Gospel should not be interpreted. It must be done. And exactly how you read it.
"The right time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is this morning"
