Yes, “desecrating the temple of G-d”. I agree.

I think the others on the list can be categorized as sin similarly.

thanks for your reply.

Sure botche that one. Let's try it again.

TO: ladyinred

It might be a list for all of us to kinda work at, but for the DNC it is most likely their reminder for list for things to discuss with the Padre during their next confession.

Seen this? "Accumulating excessive wealth" and "pollution" join the ranks of "deadly sins."

The Vatican decries "accumulating excessive wealth" as a sin.

The Vatican ... says accumulating excessive wealth ... is a sin.

It just doesn't get any better than that.

[wardaddy]

man this is bizarre

good lord, is the Vatican really this PC.....this sounds more like Unitarians

if this is true, it’s friggin awful

[bannie]

So...if I comminted one of these the day before it was “deemed,” am I guilty?

[Salvation]

Believe me, we, as Catholics, get the bashing day after day after day.

I just posted a thread defining the seven deadly sins:
pride
avarice (greed)
lust
envy
anger
gluttony
sloth
I’ll put the link in the next post.

What are Capital Sins? [Seven Deadly Sins]

[D-fendr]

Not “new sins” but an old media blind spot (Vatican _DOES_NOT_ Announce Seven New Deadly Sins)

That should make the masses of RCs happy. This is how they make doctrine, by popular vote.

The Vatican ... says accumulating excessive wealth ... is a sin.

So it's a virtue than?

[newgeezer]

So it's a virtue than?

If "accumulating excessive wealth" is a sin, should we look for the Vatican to start divesting its billions any day now?

[conservonator]

What does the "Vatican" do with it's alleged wealth? I'm assuming you have the balance sheet and are not simply pulling numbers out of the air...

The problem with mote eyed protestant and "bible" believing types is their inability to see the intellectual paucity needed to put up statements like "If accumulating excessive wealth" is a sin, should we look for the Vatican to start divesting its billions any day now?" The "Vatican" is a city state, city states don't sin, people do. In a hyperventilating rush to condemn the Church, the degenerate, unregenerate, pathetic, church of their own making "Christian", lose all capacity to reason and any ability to see what they would normally claim to be the "simple, self reveling meaning" of some bit of Scripture. Pathetic.

So I ask again; is accumulating excessive wealth a virtue?

[newgeezer]

What does the "Vatican" do with it's alleged wealth?

"Alleged?" Puh-leeze. Is the pope Catholic?

[conservonator]

I’d ignore the question too.

[Scotswife]

“so why is Benedict’s edict a problem for everyone else?”

except this was not an “edict” from Benedict at all.
Benedict had nothing to do with this article.

This was a bunch of hullabaloo created by the media after an interview with a vatican official made statements about sin.
He was not trying to do away with any old list - not trying to replace anything with a new list.
He doesn’t have the authority to issue edicts either.

[newgeezer]

I’d ignore the question too.

It was a ridiculous question, and one whose answer you wouldn't care to hear (especially from an unwashed scoundrel such as myself).

[conservonator]

It's a perfectly decent and logical question, even an idolatrous Mariophile can see that, BTW, I never said you were unhygienic.

Pollution

Didn't the Supremes declare that exhaling pollutes?

[writer33]

Didn't the Supremes declare that exhaling pollutes?

So wouldn't that go: "Stop! Exhaling In The Name Of The Environment" before you wreck the planet.

[Accumulating excessive wealth ]

If accumulating wealth is a ‘sin’, why isn’t sitting on your dead arse and not trying to accumulate wealth?
