scandalize
This term describes a reaction of moral outrage or social shock. It suggests a breach of established norms that is so severe it causes public indignation or private horror. While similar to offend, it carries a heavier weight of social judgment and public shame, often implying that the act is a violation of a collective moral code.
In religious contexts, the word takes on a more specific spiritual dimension. It refers to the act of leading others toward sin or causing them to stumble in their faith through one's own misconduct. This usage emphasizes the responsibility of the individual toward the spiritual well-being of others.
