New and improved 7 deadly sins

This, folks, is some seriously funny shit.

The Vatican announced today that the list of ‘7 deadly sins’ has been updated to make it more modern, and this is what we’re given -

Original 7 deadly sins	Updated 7 deadly sins
Pride Envy Greed Gluttony Anger Lust Sloth	“Bioethical” violations such as birth control “Morally dubious” experiments such as stem cell research Drug abuse Polluting the environment Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor Excessive wealth Creating poverty

Those are some seriously drastic fuckin’ changes, and as a former Roman Catholic (living with a VERY devoutly R.C. family), it’ll be interesting to see what they and their church will make of it. If I thought their church group were going to discuss it, it’d be temptation enough to stick around on Friday night to eavesdrop on the conversation, but since I know what their group meetings are like (once a month, there’s a gathering at a different home within each ‘district’ that the congregation is split into), I’ll be wary to make sure I’m not at home to listen to the rowdy, drunken, machine-less karaoke singing that the meetings end up as.

Oh, those crazy Korean Roman Catholics, what won’t they do in the name of fun? Hah!
