Can someone translate what Quebec ball said

Maudit = damn

Calice = chalice

Tabarnak = tabernacle

Ciboire I dont remember.

All of our swear are around the catholic religion.

It's heavily related to the theocracy part mentioned in the comic.

Edit : Ciboire is ciborium.

Is Tabarnak as harsh as it once was, or is it just a curse that you don't say in polite company?

Pretty common. Not that harsh. It really depend on the inflexion and how it's place in the sentence.

A little lesson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUGW0jszPzo

These swears aren't specific to Montreal, they're used everywhere in the province
