Episode Notes

Ed Van Buskirk returns to the Catholic Morning Show to continue his Ten Commandments series with a discussion on the Second Commandment: honoring the name of the Lord.

Ed explains why names matter, why God’s name is holy and sacred, and how blasphemy and perjury damage both our relationship with God and our witness to others. He discusses the cultural misuse of God’s name, hypocrisy in Christian living, and practical ways Catholics can restore reverence and honor to the name of Jesus.
