We should refrain from curious inquiry into the lives of others.

Christ:

.

"...Be not curious nor give yourself up to useless cares. (1 Tim. 1: 4) What is this or that to you? Your business is to follow me. (John 21: 22)

.

For what is it to you whether this man be such or such; or that man do or say this or the other. You are not to answer for others, but must give an account for yourself, why then do you meddle with them?

.

All things are to be committed to Me; but as for you, keep yourself in good peace and let the busybody be as busy as he will.

.

Do not be solicitous for the shadow of a great name; neither seek to be familiarly acquainted with many, nor to be particularly loved by men.

.

For these things beget distractions and great darkness in the heart." Imitation, Bk III, 24; 1 - 2

I painted all day and this evening I made the rounds of Catholic blogs and news sites. I'm so not interested in any of it right now.
