This observation is astute and speaks to the deeper reality of how profanity distorts what is sacred or intimate. From a Catholic perspective, the bathroom and bedroom represent our vulnerability as embodied creatures, and religion represents our ultimate vulnerability before God. These are spaces where reverence, humility, and respect should reign.

Profanity takes what is sacred or private and degrades it, reducing profound realities—like sexuality or the divine—to objects of scorn or mockery. It’s no surprise that spiritual warfare would target these areas, as they are central to our dignity as human beings made in the image of God. Purity in speech, then, isn’t merely about etiquette; it’s about honoring God and the gift of our humanity, refusing to allow the profane to cheapen what should be cherished.
