367 – Is Misfortune a "Judgment of God"?

367. Is Misfortune a "Judgment of God"?

We have no right to sit in judgment on others, and when some people censoriously announce that a misfortune which befalls a person or a community is "a judgment" of God, they assume undue authority. We are distinctly warned against judging others. See Christ's teaching on this subject Luk_13:14.
