Curse Words: How Serious?

[aidanbradypop]

I was impatient with someone and all of a sudden a curse word popped into my head against that person. I didn’t mean it at all and was shocked that I could have thought this so I quickly dismissed it. Does anyone know whether it was a sin or not and if so, how serious (mortal or venial)? I know for it to be mortal I need full consent and I would have never consented to this on purpose. It just came to my mind all of a sudden.

Patrick Madrid actually talked about this on his show yesterday. He mentioned he had a problem with it in his teens. We are not anywhere near perfect execpt for Roy on Shipping Wars .

Thank God we have the Sacrament of Confession!!! If you feel bad about it, confess it. My priest told me that no sin is too small to confess!

Having the thought isn’t a sin but if you nurture this thought, then you are choosing to sin.

If you have unloving thought, respond back, i don’t think so or this isn’t very nice etc…We all have them, it us up to us to choose wisely what to do from it.

Don’t forget to pray for the salvation of the soul of this person.

All the best!
