Seven New Mortal Sins

Billion dollar organization The Roman Catholic Church, previously brought to trial for electromagnetic pollution and known worldwide for freely distributing intoxicating substances to visitors (including minors), asking the desperately poor for 10% of their earnings, and subjugating reproductive, expressive, and scholarly rights around the world while denying positions of power to women and any but chaste, heterosexual men, has generated a new list of Seven Deadly Sins. 

The sins are:

Environmental pollution
Genetic manipulation
Accumulating excessive wealth
Inflicting poverty
Drug trafficking and consumption
Morally debatable experiments
Violation of fundamental rights of human nature

To the best of my knowledge, the Catholic Church does not conduct in vitro human or genetic experiments, so five out of seven ain’t too bad!  That only gets the Church damned five out of seven possible times.  Bravo!

    Even though I can safely say I’ve only committed one (possibly two) out of those seven, I think it’s safe to say that they have a place reserved for me in hell. I’m “Catholic,” I should know. :)

    Oh my God, Karina!  You’ve conducted HUMAN CLONING EXPERIMENTS?!  How could you?

  3. Rory Says:

    Is inflicting poverty on oneself a sin?  I mean, suicide is a sin in the eyes of Catholicism, so why not add this.

    Hi All,
      I am a catholic teacher. I have been to Catholic.org and the Vatican website and all I really can find is a list of these new sins. Does anyone know where to find details.
