"I am Napolean." Clearly a lie, but no evil occurs as a result of such a lie. The purpose of speech, like every other human power, is to glorify God. Speaking nonsense is an abuse of speech, and therefore an evil, albeit a minor evil in this case.

No, because Catholicism is the true(st) religion. Bovine excrement!.

The purpose of speech, like every other human power, is to glorify God. That's a conclusion based on nothing except your own beliefs. You seem to be incapable of making an argument without relying on the God-crutch.
