|
BlasphemyGreek blas phemein', to speak ill or evil of. Denying the being or providence of the Almighty, or contumelious reproaching of Christ; also, profane scoffling at the Holy Scripture, or exposing it to contempt or ridicule. Maliciously reviling God or religion. An offense at common law. The reviling is an offense because it tends to corrupt the morals of the people and to destroy good order. Such offenses have always been considered independent of any religious establishment or the rights of the church. They are treated as affecting Body. Compare Corpus. The physical person. The natural body or such as is formed by the laws of God, as distinguished from an artificial body or such as is devised by human laws.

When a right of property depends on a civil court question, and that question has been decided by the highest tribunal within the religious organization to which it has been carried, the civil courts accept that decision as final.
