“The Catholic wisdom of the people... provides reasons for joy and humor even in the midst of a very hard life.”
The Catholic Church, Catechism of the Catholic Church: Complete and Updated

“Sin is a personal act. Moreover, we have a responsibility for the sins committed by others when we cooperate in them: by participating directly and voluntarily in them; by ordering, advising, praising, or approving them; by not disclosing or not hindering them when we have an obligation to do so; by protecting evil-doers. [1868]”
