II. Taking the Name of the Lord in Vain
2154
Following St. Paul,83 The tradition of the Church has understood Jesus’
words as not excluding oaths made for grave and right reasons (for example, in
court). “An oath, that is the invocation of the divine name as a witness
to truth, cannot be taken unless in truth, in judgment, and in
justice.”84
