Vatican's New List of Sins

March 12, 2008

I was having dinner last night when I saw this in the news.

The Vatican has released a new set of sins that are resonant to globalization and other world issues we tackle today.


The Vatican has listed drugs, pollution, genetic manipulation, and social and economic injustices as consonant to sinful behavior.

Moreover, the Catholic Church equally denounces other sinful acts such as pedophilia and abortion.
