  • I think it's one of the things St. Paul condemns. What you are describing is vulgarity, St. Paul calls it "Scurrility." Scurrility is smutty conversations and jokes, where people reference obscene or sinful things, (usually sɛҳuąƖ) without actually saying what is meant, but everyone knows what is really meant. St. Paul tells us to have nothing to do with that.

    Eph 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as most dear children;  2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness.  3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not so much as be named among you, as becometh saints:  4 Or obscenity, or foolish talking, or scurrility, which is to no purpose; but rather giving of thanks.  5 For know you this and understand, that no fornicator, or unclean, or covetous person (which is a serving of idols), hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
    I'm guessing scurrility covers foul language like the N word? Is negro also an N word?

    foolish talking, or scurrility,

    When would these 2 be mortal sins?

    As one born and raised near Detroit, I sure hope not. :laugh1:

    St. Paul is warning us to stay out of conversations where jokes with immodest (sɛҳuąƖ) suggestions or double meanings happen, to not take part in these types of conversations. I cannot say that 100% of the time it is certainly a mortal sin, but those conversations almost always insinuate sins of impurity as the brunt of the joke, and those sins are being laughed at in those conversations. 

    A good sermon by Fr. Wathen on the subject. The whole sermon is well worth listening to, but listen for about 3 or 4 minutes, I think I started it at about the 3.30 mark......
