Summary

We begin our examination of the second commandment, to not take the Lord’s name in vain. Fr. Mike emphasizes that God has revealed his sacred name to us, and it is our duty to treat that name with reverence. He also emphasizes just how easy it is for us to take the Lord’s name in vain in our day and age, and how vitally important it is for us to treat his holy name with respect. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2142-2149.

This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

0:00.0	I'm a name's Father Mike Schmitz and you're listening to The Catechism in a Year Podcast,
0:09.4	where we encounter God's plan of sheer goodness for us, revealed in Scripture and passed
0:13.2	down to the tradition of the Catholic faith. The Catechism in a Year is brought to you
0:16.6	by Ascension. In 365 days, we'll read through the Catechism of the Catholic Church, discovering
0:22.0	our identity and God's family as we journey together toward our heavenly home. This is
0:26.0	day 278. We're reading paragraphs 2142 to 2149. As always, I'm using the Ascension edition

0:47.0	today is 278. We're reading about the second commandment. We only have a couple days with
0:50.9	the second, that sound like a radio host. We only have a couple days with the second
0:54.4	commandment, but it's true. The second commandment, you shall not take the name of the Lord
0:58.9	your God in vain. And also, you shall not swear falsely, but I say to you, do not swear
1:03.8	at all. Are the two bases, if that's the right word, basices? They're two foundations of
1:10.4	this commandment. The name of the Lord is holy. That's what we're starting with today.
1:14.9	And it's really incredible because, man, in our day and in our age, the name of the Lord
1:21.0	is a curse word. The name of our Lord is taken in virtually every context. I mean, from
1:28.3	the worst kind of way you can abuse the Lord's language, to even popular TV shows that
1:32.9	are from mainstream audiences or movies that are from mainstream audiences, even movies
1:36.8	that might be indicated as like PG or just basically prime time. The name of the Lord
