Catholic AnswerThe Ten Commandments are listed twice in the Old Testament, in Exodus and Deuteronomy. Below is a listing of the Ten Commandments as found in Exodus. Catholics believe in all Ten Commandments, following Our Blessed Lord's teaching, The Ten Commandments are very often used as an Examination of Conscience before confession. The numbering in protestant lists is different, Fr. Rumble explains below.

Ten Commandments of God

Exodus XX

1. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them. For I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

.

2. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

.

3. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant, or your maidservant, or your cattle, or the sojourner who is within your gates; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

.

4. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gives you.

.

5. You shall not kill.

.

6. You shalt not commit adultery.

.

7. You shalt not steal.

.

8. You shalt not bear false witness against your neighbor.

.

9. You shalt not covet your neighbor's wife.

.

10. You shalt not covet your neighbor's goods.

from Radio Replies, by Fathers Rumble and Carty, 1942

1350. The Protestant Bible gives the second commandment as referring to images. But the Catholic Catechism gives it as referring to taking the name of God in vain, omitting the references to images.

Even the Protestant Bible does not give the second commandment as referring to images, though Protestants are usually taught that those words in the first commandment which refer to images constitute a second commandment.

.

1351. The Roman Church omits the second commandment, and then breaks up the tenth into two, in order to avoid having only nine.

The reverse is the case. Protestants make the first commandment into two, and then, to escape having eleven, turn the ninth and tenth into one! The first commandment, as given in The Bible, is as follows: "I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt not have strange Gods before me. Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth. Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them. I am the Lord thy God, etc." Exodus, XX., 1-6

How does the second commandment affect to vow?

Protestants, Jews and Catholics number the commandments differently. To Protestants and Jews, the second commandment deals mostly with idolatry and has no effect of vows. To Catholics, the second commandment forbids taking God's name in vain, which can be interpreted as forbidding taking a vow in God's name with the intent not to keep it.


Why do Catholics not commit adultery?

In the perfect world, all Catholics (and all other Christians) would not commit adultery. However, since all Catholics are humans, they have the same weaknesses as all humans and some of them do violate the commandment 'Thou shalt not commit adultery.' The commandment spells it out but man has free will to follow God's word or to ignore it.
