"Ask not solely why God allows injustice, or pain,
ask rather why it is clear to you, he shouldn't"

Sin, shows us that we are not what we think, it is a proof of our evil.
Sin, is more serious if it is knowledgeable, and a choice- this is seen here.
This does not here (verse one) mean that they should not be taught- but that there are right ways to evangelize... and more important issues to be dealt with first. Also- remember- a body is only a body with many parts- only non-catholics can get away with "judging" their fellows on issues such as the language they prefer to hear mass in (so far as it is legal, and not bad for spiritual growth).
She grows, as he purifies her, and as she works, her memory grows, and her memory leads her to purity.
Romans 14
1 Welcome those who are weak in faith, but do not argue with them about their personal opinions.
12 Every one of us, then, will have to give an account to God. 13 So then, let us stop judging one another. Instead, you should decide never to do anything that would make others stumble or fall into sin. 14 My union with the Lord Jesus makes me certain that no food is of itself ritually unclean; but if you believe that some food is unclean, then it becomes unclean for you. 15 If you hurt others because of something you eat, then you are no longer acting from love. Do not let the food that you eat ruin the person for whom Christ died! 16 Do not let what you regard as good get a bad name. 17 For God's Kingdom is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of the righteousness, peace, and joy which the Holy Spirit gives. 18 And when you serve Christ in this way, you please God and are approved by others.
23 But if they have doubts about what they eat, God condemns them when they eat it, because their action is not based on faith. And anything that is not based on faith is sin.
