Coming from a combination of the Greek words, blaptein meaning "to injure" and pheme meaning "reputation", The Catholic Encyclopedia defines “blasphemy” as "gross irreverence towards any person or thing worthy of exalted esteem." Thus, when anybody mocks the Catholic religion, he or she is blaspheming against God Himself.CLICK HERE FOR MORE...
