All Catholics are called to emulate Christ. Christ was perfectly just with his actions and in his judgement However regular humans are not. therefore it is the goal of each person and the church to strive for perfection. We can achieve most closely perfection through communion with each other and with Christ. Therefore it is our duty to God and neighbor to assist them in their pursuit of holiness. Therefore we must kind to our neighbors and love them as ourselves. In order to do this we must also hold them accountable for their actions.
Christ does not allow sin and thus we must do the same. we must tell our neighbors when they sin and not approve of it. for example, the Church does not bar homosexuals from its rankings, but it does not condone the activity. we must love our neighbors, but we must not let them sin.
