On Not Being Angry or Troubled
"No matter how someone else sins, if you let yourself be upset or angered over it, except for charity's sake, you store up for yourself--like a treasure--the sin of the other. But, servant of God, if you do not become angry or indignant over someone else, you are living justly and poorly, that is, without claiming anything for your own." --St. Francis, Admonition 11
To become angry about someone's action is to be judgmental. When we are judgmental we can not love that person.
