New sins to collect!

[Hector]

From today's Torygraph:

"The Vatican has outlined seven new deadly sins for our times, designed to make worshippers consider the increased impact their lives have on other people in light of globalisation.

The new lists condemns genetic modification, carrying out experiments on humans, polluting the environment, causing social injustice, causing poverty, becoming obscenely wealthy and taking drugs.

It replaces the list originally drawn up by Pope Gregory the Great in the 6th Century, which included envy, gluttony, greed, lust, wrath and pride. Sadness was replaced by sloth in the 17th Century.

What are the 'deadly sins' of our times? "

Have they got it right?

'Catholicism' should be on the list for a start

Drug pushers, the obscenely rich, environmental polluters and “manipulative” genetic scientists beware – you may be in danger of losing your mortal soul unless you repent.

I see not helping fascist regimes is absent from that list. Handy given the Catholic Church's long standing support for such organisations. :icon_wink

From Blessing to Sin in less than five years.
Methinks I detect a tiny shift in Vatican policy:

Vatican says GM food is a Blessing
The Times,
By Richard Owen
August 05, 2003
THE Vatican has stunned opponents of genetically modified foods by declaring they hold the answer to world starvation and malnutrition.
Archbishop Renato Martino, head of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, said the Vatican was preparing an official report on biotechnology which would come down in favour of genetic modification.
Archbishop Martino said the Pope was greatly interested in new technologies for food development as part of a policy of sustainable agriculture. He noted that 24,000 people died every day from starvation.
Archbishop Martino, who until last year was the Vatican representative at the UN, said he had lived for 16 years in the US "and I ate everything that was offered to me, including genetically modified products. They had no effect on my health. This controversy is more political than scientific."
The Vatican study will argue that the future of humanity is at stake and that there is no room for the ideological arguments advanced by environmentalists.
One Vatican official said: "The Book of Genesis clearly establishes the domination of man over nature. God has entrusted mankind to preserve nature but also to use it."
Archbishop Martino said the Pope had been influenced by the growing weight of advice from the Vatican's scientific advisers. "The Pope ardently desires to do something for the billions of people who go to bed hungry every night," he said.
Velasio De Paolis, a professor of canon law at the Pontifical Urban University, said it was "easy to say no to GM food if your stomach is full".
Scientific progress was part of the divine plan, he said. "The introduction of new and more efficient technologies such as second and third-generation GM foods, in harmony with sustainable development, is not a threat but a benefit."
