I've wasted a little time wondering what I would do if the Gestapo came to my house looking for Jews. It's a given that I would be hiding a Jewish family. How do I mislead the Nazis without telling a lie? It's silly; I know. But such is the moral dilemmas I occasionally put myself through.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church ended this train of thought. Deo Gratias.
CCC 2510
The golden rule helps one discern, in concrete situations, whether or not it would be appropriate to reveal the truth to someone who asks for it.
Golden Rule
Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you.
