And to think I’m still trying to perfect gluttony and sloth…
Vatican Includes Drugs and Wealth in New Sin List (via Metafilter, though I’ve heard this story elsewhere):
In an effort to appeal to the modern Catholic, the Vatican has announced a list of seven new mortal sins. Some of the new don’ts: thou shalt not pollute and thou shalt not have too much money.
“I think it’s to remind people that sins are not just individual,” he says referring to the Catholic church’s old seven deadly sins — lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride. “There’s also social sins .. .sins that affect the community at large and sins that an institution can engage in.”
The New Mortal Sins
1.) genetic modification
2.) carrying out experiments on humans
3.) polluting the environment
4.) causing social injustice
5.) causing poverty
6.) becoming obscenely wealthy
7.) taking drugs
HOW IS NUMBER 6 BAD? THAT’S THE AMERICAN DREAM. Stupid catholics.
