Seven New Deadly Sins

Washington (The Weekly Standard) Vol. 013, Issue 29 - 4/14/2008 - Busy times for us sinners--there are now an additional Seven
Deadly Sins. The fresh abominations in the eyes of the Lord were announced by Bishop Gianfranco Girotti, head of the Vatican body
that oversees confessions and plenary indulgences. This organization goes by the contrition-inducing name of the Apostolic
Penitentiary. In an article in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, Bishop Girotti detailed the seven new ways we can go to
hell or, at the minimum, be sentenced to afterlife in purgatory at the Apostle Pen. The bishop's supersizing of the mortal
transgression catalog is thoroughly up-to-date (as translated by the Times of London):

1. Drug abuse

2. Morally debatable experimentation

3. Environmental pollution

4. Causing poverty

5. Social inequality and injustice

6. Genetic manipulation

7. Accumulating excessive wealth

My favorite ORourke quotes

"Seriousness is stupidity sent to college"

"Making fun of born-again Christians is like hunting dairy cows with a
high powered rifle and scope".

The vatican saying that one should not accumulate excessive wealth is
a bit like Clinton saying cigars are bad for you.
