The Vatican has updated the traditional seven deadly sins by adding seven modern mortal sins:
- Environmental pollution
- Genetic manipulation
- Accumulating excessive wealth
- Inflicting poverty
- Drug trafficking and consumption
- Morally debatable experiments
- Violation of fundamental rights of human nature
These new mortal sins are part of the Church's attempts to revive the Roman Catholic practice of confession.
I'd rather leave it to God to determine whether I'm a miserable sinner or not...besides what was wrong with the original deadly sins?
- Pride
- Envy
- Gluttony
- Lust
- Anger
- Greed
- Sloth
And I can't see celluloid serial killer John Doe being so inspired by the "modern sins" of the obscenely rich, environmental polluters and genetic scientists as he was with the original deadly sins in the classic movie "Se7en".
Fewer confessions and new sins
