Watch Your Mouth

• By Fr. Bill Wack, CSC, Director, Freshman Retreat Program

Campus Ministry offers this "Considerations" column each week to help us all to reflect on our dav lives and see if we can improve in our efforts to live together in community. This week I thought I Ramadan lhar would write about something that I perceive is rampant and detrimental to our lives as Christians­ 5:00p.m. offensive and obscene speech. Hospitality Room, South Dining Hall Why this topic? I have noticed that the use of obscene speech has increased a tremendous amount over the last decade or so (since I was here as an undergraduate), and many others have agreed with San Egidio Community me. Not only is its use acceptable (and fashionable) in movies, advertisement, and in public places in 6:00p.m. general, it seems to be the norm for many people here on our campuses. Sacred Heart Crypt I'm not talking about a slip of the tongue or a story told among close friends in a private setting; I'm referring to people yelling horrible things out on the quads, down the hallways in dorms, or openly where people gather. (Also included would beT-shirts with highly offensive depictions or dav words on them worn proudly in public. I've even seen some of these worn in church or at Mass). 807 Mass There doesn't seem to be much of an attempt to curb the tongue these days. On the contrary, every 8:00p.m. attempt seems to be made to use offensive speech. Lounge, Coleman-Morse Center Most disturbing is hearing these things spoken in front of visitors and the general public. Quite eften this occurs when I am having a visitor over in my room or am counseling someone or celebrat­ Eucharistic Adoration ing Mass or Reconciliation in a room or chapel on campus. Many times I have heard foul things 11 :30 a.m. • 4:45 p.m. spoken or yelled loudly which easily spill into my room or the chapel. I usually apologize to my Basilica of the Sacred Heart guests or try to talk louder over the disturbance, but the damage is already done. Freshman Retreat #38 A lor of times, if I hear something really bad and blatant, I will say, "Excuse me?", and the offend­ Sacred Heart Parish Center ing person immediately says, ''I'm sorry, Father, I didn't know you were here." But that shouldn't matter. We really should strive to use acceptable language at all times in public. Marriage Preparation Something that seems to be happening more frequently this year is late-night carousing on the Fatima Retreat Center quad. Several times this semester I have been kept awake at all hours while people have inconve­ nienced anyone with a window on the quad side by saying offensive, bigoted, or off-color things. I have spent several hours trying to drown out the noise by putting a pillow over my head and thinking rdav about the day when I will live in a rectory 'Somewhere or in a house off campus. Am I overreacting? I don't think so. I confess that I have it within me to use inappropriate words Feast of the at times when I am with my brothers playing cards or am with some friends from high school in a Immaculate Conception private setting. But I would find it extremely embarrassing and shameful to use those words in public - especially using them indiscriminately in a loud voice. I believe that we all have to work on our internal "editor". Every moral person tries to have a well-developed editor (conscience, voice) that av tells them when it is appropriate (and when it isn't) to say or do something. Employing this is a Spanish Mass matter of being Christ-like. 1:30 p.. m. There are two reasons why I think we all need to clean up our language in public: Zahm Hall Chapel 1) We're basically educated people, and we have a lot of words at our disposal. Surely there are more descriptive words in the English language we could use than the four or five we hear constantly. Law School Mass 2) Our faith tells us so. St Paul states that because we are God's people, "no foul language should 5:00 p.. m. come out of your mouths" and "no obscenity or silly or suggestive talk," for the immoral and impure Law School Chapel will lose "their inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God" (Eph 4:29; 5:4-5; Col 3:8). MBA Mass Some would say (indeed, have said), "Get over it." or "If that's the way you feel, maybe you 7:00 p.. m. shouldn't live with students". I absolutely love living on campus and hope to do that for as long as I'm Mendoza College of Business Chapel here at the University, but I hope that it can be a place where others are respected and they don't have Advent Lessons and Carols to worry about being offended constantly in public by other people's tongues. 7:15p.m. Thank God for the gift of communication that has been given to all of us (in one form or an­ Basilica of the Sacred Heart other). Let us all try to honor that gift and use it for the greater glory of God. May the Word of God, Jesus Christ, bless us all during this holy season of Advent! Rejoice!
