I once heard in a sermon, a priest in Spanish, say a big cuss word. He was quoting a young man who had gone to confession.
Oh no doubt. I can imagine some of the apostles as they saw some of our Lord’s miracles, probably say a cuss word or two in their minds.
No kidding. I mean, seriously, they were dumbfounded more often than not (as we all would have been - I mean, come on. Other than Himself, Jesus raised three different people from the dead. He turned water into wine, walked on water, fed multitudes of people with very little food twice, drove demons out of people and into pigs, healed a deaf-mute by sticking His finger into His ear and mouth, cured incurable diseases, etc., etc., etc. And this was all before He suffered, died, rose from the dead Himself, and ascended into Heaven).
First praise God that you are reverting and welcome home. Priest are very human and sometimes we forget about that. I understand what you are going through and it is a sensitivity to harsh language which seems unbecoming of men of God. I would take this to prayer and figure out why this bothers you and pray for the priest that he might come to a closer perfection in Christ.
I totally agree with you. I remember one of my cousins was shocked, when she saw a priest drinking wine at dinner. She was basically paralyzed.
My mom taught me this about cussing, “theirs a place and moment for them”.
Paul to the Judaizers: “The rest should castrate themselves!”This is very mild language, frankly.
Swearing would be either taking God’s name in vain (blasphemy) or using obscene words. This doesn’t fall under either category. The priest was probably speaking colorfully to make a point, just as Saint Paul did when he said “compared to Christ, everything is manure”, or the Prophet Elijah did when he said “why isn’t Baal answering? Has he gone to the loo?”
Now that is funny
hilarious
That would mean Tarantino, Scorsese, et all would have been waiters. Or the ever vulgar Twain would be no more. Or the sickeningly perberted Bard would never have been published or performed.
LOL Well I don’t know, I have met some that very much are c-words. It’s the political climate that says the women are all victims and the men are evil and are out to harm women in every way you can think of. I have had several very bad experiences with women.
I was seriously surprised by him saying that. He is a foreign priest so maybe he did not know how much weight that word carries.LOL Well I don’t know, I have met some that very much are c-words.

That’s highly probable: I was learning Spanish a year ago, and the course taught us a highly-vulgar word with an innocent (and wrong) definition. My teacher was shocked when I used it, and once she explained I was reeeaally embarrassed. And yes, she did contact the creators of the course to get it fixed.
