The second Commandment is to not take the Lord’s name in vain, but I was just reading the Catechism and it says this commandment also extends to saints.
Does anyone know why exactly? Blasphemy of a saint is not quite nearly the same as blasphemy of Jesus.
Any ideas?
Theosis. 2 Peter 1:4
Similar reasoning for the Church (Body and Bride of Christ) and sacred relics (conduits of God’s power and grace).
Oh, I suppose. I didn’t take it to that level when I was thinking about it last night. Some of the teachings of the Church are not immediately apparent but require putting a few things together logically.

You just wanted a longer discussion.

I was asking because I am writing a series of articles about the 10 Commandments and I stumbled upon that in the Catechism so I decided to ask about it here.

Greek or Augustinan reckoning?
Those are the two systems for determining the numbering of the Ten Commandments. The Protestants and Orthodox adopted the Greek numbers while Catholics and German Lutherans use the Augustinian ones.
