Russian Orthodox Church Condemns Swearing as Sin
The Russian Orthodox Church has strongly condemned swearing, describing it as 'an appeal to the devil' and a heavy sin that sends the offender to hell while still alive. According to Priest Maxim Portnov, profanity also poisons those around it. The Church warns that swearers will face punishment in the afterlife and urges people to hate profanity and speak politely.5 sourcesSee all sources
