Yes, I typed that correctly. It is "jugement" and not "judgment" (or even the English spelling of "judgement"). I saw a sign being held by a young woman recently. It read, "compassion before jugement". I think it was supposed to be some kind of a pro-immigrant statement. As in: do not juge people, but be compassionate toward them. [For those who do not know, the "(sic)" in the title above is Latin for "yes" and means, "yes, I know I spelled that wrong, it is in the original".]
So, apart from the clear testimony of the level of education children are being given today (even if you are not skilled in spelling, you can still use a dictionary -- if you know how! -- or use a spell check on your phone -- if that is all you have). People should be concerned about the respect that is shown by how you present yourself (and your words definitely count in that).
What, however, is the point of the statement? It is that "jugement" is wrong. So, let us take it a bit further. According to that: I should not judge when the shifty looking guy shows up at the door with a gun and says he wants to a place to sleep and says he would be happy to share my 16 year old daughter's room; just be compassionate, right? I should not judge when the person shows up in a trench coat at Mass, is sweating, and has a thick middle east accent; right? Just show compassion.
If someone clearly broke the law (like an illegal immigrant), they are already proven guilty. From there, we must make judgments. We cannot ignore threats to our homes. We cannot pretend like there are no bad people wanting to destroy America. We actually can make a good and wise judgment and still show compassion. The two are not mutually exclusive. It is a shame that vast numbers of Americans cannot tell the difference.
Therefore, the sign should read: "Make a good and wise judgment; and then show compassion". It is what we are called to when the safety of our families, and our nation, are at stake.
