The accuser.

“The accuser of our brothers is cast out.” - Revelation 12
We know the moral reasons why detraction and calumny are sinful; bringing to light things that were hidden that may disgrace or defame a person’s good name, repeating stories that harm another’s reputation, spreading lies or half truths, and so on. Yet unlike the sins of the flesh, which the devil being spirit can only incite us to, these sins of the tongue are among those which make us more like Satan than the others. For the devil is the accuser, constantly accusing us “before our God day and night”.
St. Michael the Archangel, pray for us.
