Shouldn’t the first question be “is it honest?” Parsing how it will cause this, or force that, or mock or not mock to me are all secondary considerations. If someone makes a promise (a covenant) to a friend, a spouse, or their God how is that now even considered as a positive to break that promise? How is it ever a right thing to do? If I place myself under an honestly made promise, no amount of inducement would persuade me to break that covenant. Since the filming was done dishonestly, what twist of rationalization makes that okay? Even an atheist journalist knows he can’t reveal something told to him “off the record”, just to site a simple example of ethics. Are not Christians claiming a higher standard than a journalist? Since a people who believe in the sacredness of that ceremony ask it not to be filmed, what kind of mind decides that they can ignore their request? Did the leaker not promise to obey that request? Yet they ignore their promise. Not only ignore it like the film magically fell off the back of a turnip truck, but actually use subterfuge, deceit and lies to cause it to happen
