Is serving in a jury a sin for catholic people? i mean we aren't supposed to judge people. i need advices?

It's a different kind of ';judgment';. You are given specific rules and specific evidence and you are asked to determine guilt or liability, along with other jurors, based on either a ';preponderance of evidence'; or ';beyond reasonable doubt'; depending on the type of trial. You are not judging anyone's soul, only the presented facts of a case. If you object to capital punishment, the lawyers in a capital case will have you excused. Catholics are supposed to be good citizens anyway.Is serving in a jury a sin for catholic people? i mean we aren't supposed to judge people. i need advices?

No. Serving on a jury, provided one does it honstly, is not a sin for Catholic people.

We are ';not supposed to judge'; individuals as being worthy of salvation or worthy of condemnation.





When it comes to personal behavior, of course we can judge. We're supposed to judge! How can we ';instruct the ignorant'; or ';admonish the sinner'; without making judgment calls. So, clearly, we are allowed to make judgments.Is serving in a jury a sin for catholic people? i mean we aren't supposed to judge people. i need advices?
It can depend on what you are serving on a jury for.





We do not (JWs)....for one, we cannot be responsible for causing someone to be put to death. Some jury trials will be capital ones and you will be asked to vote to kill someone after the vote of guilty.





People of many religions refuse to serve on juries where they will be asked to tell the government to kill someone or that they give their permission to kill.

It is not a sin.





That's not the kind of ';judging'; Jesus was talking about when He told us not to judge.





As long as you don't presume that you can say who is going to hell and who isn't, then you're safe. As far as I know, our courts of law haven't starting damning people to hell ... yet. ;)





We make judgments all day: who is a good baby sitter, who is a bad role model, who is the best cook in your family, etc. These are natural and mostly harmless judgments.





Those aren't the ones Jesus told us not to make.
Hello,





No, in jury duty you are technically saying yeah or nay as to whether or not the person is guilty. This is not judging.


The magistrate sitting on the bench looks after that department.

This is a temporal matter, not a spiritual one. Feel free to serve for is it not written, ';render unto Cesar that which is Cesar's and unto God that which is God's.
Jesus once said, render unto Caesar, the things that are Caesers and to God the things that are Gods. Also we are supposed to separate the church from the state! I don't believe serving on the jury is a sin.
In part yes, but the death penalty is definitely not right. No one has the right to take someone else's life. Even if he was a very dangerous man.
It might be for protestants, that take the Bible literally, sometimes. Some other times, they twist it like a maze to make say whatever they want
We are not judging their souls, we can judge if they broke a human law or not.





Have served on two jury's Foreman of one.





Peace be with you.
The judge does the judging. You only say which lawyer you agree with. It's like evaluating a debate.
We cannot judge mens souls but we can certainly judge men's actions.
Nope, I did my jury duty and didn't have a problem with it.
No it is good to do your civic duty. I did last month but was never called as a juror. I was wondering the same thing.
You are not judging the person, you are judging their actions. it is ok.
