Abstract
The profanity was a social practice which enjoyed a strong vitality from a vast number of people in the cultural framework of the Old Regime Catalonia. Anthropomorphic profanity –verbal and gestural- focused to vilify God bodily organs, and so the rest of the christian pantheon of celestial figures, occupy a privileged position within the transgressive people’s vocabulary. Living expressions of popular religious sacredness that openly violates christian orthodoxy and that institutional catholic Church will proceed to devaluate until its complete disappearance in its strategic program of catholic moral discipline started in the late Middle Ages.
