And cussing is a sin, as St. Alphonsus and St. Paul teach:

”But, ” says St. Paul, “fornication and all uncleanness, let it not so much as be named among you, as becometh saints.” (Ephes. v. 3.) Mark the words”all uncleanness. ” We must not only abstain from obscene language and from every word of double meaning spoken in jest, but also from every improper word unbecoming a saint that is, a Christian ... Reflect, says St. Augustine that your mouths are the mouths of Christians, which Jesus Christ has so often entered in the Holy Communion. Hence, you ought to have a horror of uttering all unchaste words, which are a diabolical poison. ”See, brethren, if it be just that, from the mouths of Christians, which the body of Christ enters, an immodest song, like diabolical poison, should proceed.” (Serm. xv. de Temp.) St. Paul says, that the language of a Christian should be always seasoned with salt. ”Let your speech be always in grace, seasoned with salt.”(Col. IV. 6.) Our conversation should be seasoned with words calculated to excite others not to offend, but to love God. ”Happy the tongue,” says St. Bernard,”that knows only how to speak of holy things!” Happy the tongue that knows only how to speak of God!" https://oneintheirhearts.wordpress.com/2015/08/09/the-vice-of-speaking-immodestly-st-alphonsus-liguori/
"Cussing (Cursing)" is a sin.  sure. But "BULLSHIT" is not a curse.

Saint Paul says "fornication and all uncleanness". Saint Alphonsus also is quite clear.

He sure did, Rabbi.

Ah, I see ... you you have a greater problem with vulgarity than with abortion and genocide.  Got it.

BTW, Catholic theologians do NOT hold that vulgarity (e.g. scatological terms) are inherently sinful.  In fact, in being directed toward yourself and your errors, it's downright meritorious.  Sometimes politeness does not suffice in the face of grave error.  You'll note that there's actually a significant amount of vulgarity in Sacred Scripture when the Holy Spirit even decided it was necessary to get the point across.

Non sequitur of the year. And are you defending vulgarity as the "lesser of two evils" now after railing against it? :laugh1: Cussing is indeed a sin and I have no idea why you'd reject Saint Paul and Saint Alphonsus and all the other Saints St. A cites. As for abortion and genocide, of course I've always opposed them and always will.
