II. Taking the Name of the Lord in Vain

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2150
The second commandment forbids false oaths. Taking an oath or swearing is to take
God as witness to what one affirms. It is to invoke the divine truthfulness as
a pledge of one’s own truthfulness. An oath engages the Lord’s name. “You
shall fear the LORD your God; you shall serve him, and swear by his
name.”⁸¹
