The Catechism explains "scandal" as per , scandal is causing or tempting another into sin ([https://www.usccb.org/sites/default/files/flipbooks/catechism/552/ CCC 2284])<blockquote>Scandal is an attitude or behavior which leads another to do evil. The person who gives scandal becomes his neighbor's tempter. He damages virtue and integrity; he may even draw his brother into spiritual death. Scandal is a grave offense if by deed or omission another is deliberately led into a grave offense.</blockquote>Jesus does not use the word "scandal" (it appears in [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/judith/8:22 Jdt 8:22], [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/judith/12:2 12:2] and [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/romans/1:30 Rom 1:30]), but he speaks to the concept directly in [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/17:1 Lk 17:1]:<blockquote>He said to his disciples, “Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the person through whom they occur."</blockquote> | The Catechism explains "scandal" as per , scandal is causing or tempting another into sin ([https://www.usccb.org/sites/default/files/flipbooks/catechism/552/ CCC 2284])<blockquote>Scandal is an attitude or behavior which leads another to do evil.

Woe to the world because of things that cause sin! Such things must come, but woe to the one through whom they come!” </blockquote> | ||
