Kevin said a bad word. Brother said two bad words. One is a word that is defined as a cross between "Jesus" and "s**t." Smart people know that. It would be Rash Judgment to think that Brother knew that.

I can't see the bad words that Brother used. Perhaps it's an American thing.

I can see a mildly bad word that Kevin used.

But there's a worse word used a few times in the Douay Old Testament! (3 Kings 16 for example).

I guess what counts as bad language varies from age to age, etc.

It certainly does. In OUR age the words "crap" and "squat" are considered vulgar. I'm pretty sure that they were forbidden even on American TV as recently as ten years ago. As was a certain word used in our Elizabethan Bibles, which today is considered an unacceptable vulgarity in polite society. For a "brother" to use one of those words in a public discussion about religion is a disgrace.

The worse offense is the folksy exclamation before cited. It is one of a few teasing, chip on the shoulder take-offs on the Holy Name which people get away with. It's one thing when dopey kids and nobodies in the street use such words: A "Brother" pontificating about the Holy Spirit and the Holy See in print ought not to be allowed to get away with something that even savors of sacrilegious contempt for the Son of God.

"Chalice/cup." Okay then. Now we know that the spirit behind Vatican II was not holy. That's the true lesson that Brother has taught us.

Crap and squat are considered vulgar? Maybe its the generational differences.

I've finally worked out the word you mean!

Perhaps the Brother had kebabs in mind...
