Talk:Detraction

Gravity
I change the phrase "differs from the more serious act of calumny" to "differs from the act of calumny" because the comparative seriousness would be hard to argue in some cases. When discussing the gravity of a sin is necessary to consider the intention as well as the act in itself. --Droll 15:44, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Please clarify under what circumstances detraction is a serious matter, and under what circumstances is it not? Or, is it always objectively serious? Bwrs (talk) 18:30, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
