I have never swore in my life. I am just wondering… And not like taking the Lord’s name in vain, just like ,, or ****. Thanks!

It’s not a sin.

The fifth, because you are usually expressing anger to a pretty bad extent, or could be giving a bad example.

In most cases it is a sin, usually venial.
Can you even imagine people using foul language in Heaven? I sure can’t.

I thought it was interesting to see this topic, because I have just been thinking about this today. I live in the bible belt and most of the “church going people” don’t cuss. However my dh who is not catholic pointed out to me, many years ago, he’d never heard anyone cuss at church until he was at mass with me.
It may not be a mortal sin, but I think we could be better witnesses of our Catholic faith if we tried to speak without using profanity.

Excellent question! I struggle with this one a lot, especially in traffic and dressing rooms. I don’t take the Lord’s name in vain, but I use some very bad words. In thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that it violates Jesus’ command to love our neighbours as ouselves. Also, profanity is degrading and foul and comes from the Evil One. Hope this helps.

Great Post.
It’s too bad that so many people don’t seem to recognize that the commonly used phrase similar to, “gosh darn” is actually a prayer. It is a petition. It calls on God to condemn another…

Yes, swearing is a sin. Can be venial/mortal depending on the circumstances and the nature of the swear.
Best off not swearing at all.
I don’t understand why people are careful with their language while around young children but then curse a blue streak when they’re around their adult friends. If swearing is enough of a sin to endanger a child’s purity just by listening to the words, then wouldn’t the purity of our own soul almost certainly be endangered by actually saying these words?

Those don’t go against what I said. There are a lot of circumstances where using those type of words happen to involve something sinful, but using the words per se isn’t a sin. However using cuss words all the time does make you sound stupid so in general I try my best to avoid it.

I don’t necessarily agree with this. Are you telling me that, for example, the f word is not severely degrading to the marital act, and taking it out of its proper place?
Sure, there are cases when using this word may not be sinful, but even if a person uses such a word out of habit or surprise, it is usually still at least a venial sin.
