We have the idea that our spiritual lives are a private matter, between us and God. Our society talks about victimless crimes. And we tend to think that some sins have no victims other than the one who sins. But the reality is that all sin has wide-ranging consequences.
When a person sins, someone else is inevitably hurt. Sin always has social consequences, whether great or small, depending on the person sinning. One cannot sin ever so secretly without influencing the quality of one's relations with others, particularly those within his or her inner circle.
