「他人の公開侮辱」は罪ですか？

The Christian case against public shaming begins with a sentence about anger. In the Sermon on the Mount's escalation, Jesus moves from murder to insult: 'whoever says, You fool!, will be liable to the hell of fire' (Matthew 5:22) — contempt, in the Kingdom's jurisprudence, is violence's firstborn. The tradition developed specific vocabulary for the shaming family: detraction, revealing a person's real faults without sufficient reason (CCC 2477), and calumny, spreading false ones — both classed against truth and charity, with the Catechism requiring the repair of the harm done. The Protestant pastoral tradition leans on process instead: Matthew 18's private-first pattern exists precisely because public correction is for public, unrepentant harm — not for entertainment — and Galatians 6:1 commands restoration 'in a spirit of gentleness' aimed at catching the fallen, not filming them. James 3 supplies the engineering report: the tongue is 'a fire,' and no one has ever scrolled a shaming thread and concluded the fire was contained. The tradition's counsel is procedural and personal: expose what must be exposed to protect people, correct what can be corrected in private, and never confuse an audience with a tribunal.
