Theology (And Some Moral Theory) Distinguishes Between Sins (Or Acts)

question 22

Essay

Theology (and some moral theory) distinguishes between sins (or acts) of omission and commission. Not trying to stop an immoral act when it is possible to do so is itself seen as immoral. Do you agree that not trying to stop immorality perpetrated in the name of religious belief by advocates of one's own religion is immoral?
