The Ten Thousand Talent Debt Applied

We heard in today's homily of the servant forgiven by the King of his 10,000 talent debt. After this act of mercy the forgiven servant went out and beat his own servant who owed him the smallest fraction of what he'd been forgiven. On hearing of this the King renegged on his cancelling of his servant's debt. He then sent the unforgiving servant to the torture chamber until his debt was paid. So are we indebted to the Father's mercy in our own lives. So how is it again that we hold on to a political candidate's past indiscretions? I wonder at a culture that promotes license, perversion, the destruction of the unfortunate consequence of our sexual liberation, and yet somehow cringe at a man's language, admittedly crude, as if they were all suddenly persuaded of puritan purity. And what ever happened to the thou shalt not judge mantra so often proclaimed from the secular pulpit?
