Baltimore catechism says:
Q. 1220. Is it sinful to use the words of Holy Scripture in a bad or worldly sense?

A. It is sinful to use the words of Holy Scripture in a bad or worldly sense, to joke in them or ridicule their sacred meaning, or in general to give them any meaning but the one we believe God has intended them to convey.

Q. 1218. What do you mean by taking God's name in vain?

A. By taking God's name in vain I mean taking it without reverence, as in cursing or using in a light and careless manner, as in exclamation.

Q. 1219. What are we commanded by the second Commandment?

A. We are commanded by the second Commandment to speak with reverence of God and of the saints, and of all holy things,

take note that priests and consecrated people are sacred persons.

Good post, but there is a difference between essentially making fun of a thing and mentioning it accidentally, right?

ie. Martin Luther was and still is a priest. Yet we can make fun of him.

Is that what you think?

This man was created by God and destined for eternal glory, and corrupted himself, stealing his precious soul from God who made him, and plunged it into the depths of hell, where he will be tormented body and soul for all eternity for sins against the faith and all of his IDLE WORDS.
