I will make this short and sweet, since I do not do much posting about religion unless I see something that I feel needs attention.
Do you know your 7 deadly sins? Pride, envy, gluttony, greed, lust, wrath and sloth; there is so much I could write about each one of those, but why?
Recently in the Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, has listed addition to the age old list of sins. These are polluting, genetic engineering, being obscenely wealthy, taking drugs, abortion, pedophilia and generally causing social injustice. The Catholic Church has violated at least two of the new sins. Just my opinion.
If you live by the old list ans now you must live by the new additions. I want to see how this works out for the church. There are a few in the church that as of this writing are violating many of the taboos.
Just thought I would see if there are any thoughts on this. Personally, I do not care! I am a Gnostic. Your thoughts.

this was an appropriate response. Heck, it’s the first thing that went through my head, too. (Doesn’t say much for all those years of Catholic schooling, does it?)
Wake me up when they add more venial sins to the list. Then we can start the party!
It had to be the independent work of some priest high on crack, and feeling guilty about something.
I’m Irish Catholic. I never blamed our priest for taking a nip because, with a nose that red, he was obviously freezing.
