Jim, does your league publish a list of banned words, or is it left to umpire judgment to define "profanity"?
If it is left to umpire judgment, you may find an umpire or two who would consider saying "Christ" as cursing based on their religious sensibilities. That was Mike's point.
And, as the Don Imus ruckus points out, feigned offense can also be an issue.
