The Catholic Church says excessive wealth is a deadly sin? lmfao

The Vatican has extended its list of mortal sins to include 21st century transgressions such as destructive experiments on human embryos, pollution of the environment, drug abuse and the exploitation of the poor by the super-rich


Published in the Vatican’s official newspaper L’Osservatore Romano the list of mortal sins - those which are so serious they can lead a person to hell - were revealed at the end of a week long refresher course for priests on the sacrament of confession


Traditionally mortal sins are acts which breach the Ten Commandments, which prohibit such acts as murder, theft, adultery and ‘bearing false witness’ against your neighbour and which Christians and Jews believe to be the revealed law of God


From this the Roman Catholic Church deduced that there were seven deadly sins - pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed and sloth


But it is now offering a modern ‘social’ perspective on the nature of acts which might offend God


The new seven deadly sins are those of drug abuse, genetic manipulation, morally dubious experimentation, environmental pollution, social inequalities and social injustice, causing poverty and accumulating excessive wealth at the expense of the common good of society.

Given that the Al Gore-types have concluded that CO2 is a pollutant, and given that every single human on the globe exhales CO2 when they breath, we’re apparently all going to hell for polluting the environment


By the way, how exactly does one cause poverty? Seems to me that people can only make themselves poor. You can steal from people, I suppose, or commit frauds upon them. But isn’t that already covered by existing sins about greed and theft? I mean, outside of tricking someone or just outright robbing them people are responsible for their own poverty. Nobody forces people to make unwise financial decisions


The excessive wealth sin is pretty noxious too. As though God wanted to put a limit on how successful we could be. If you’re running a huge business, and giving thousands of people jobs while simultaneously spending your wealth in the economy which in turn creates even more jobs and wealth for other people, there’s nothing wrong with that

The catholice church will do anything and say anything to get their parishoners to give more money to the church. They have to pay out for all them lawsuits from when they turned their backs while all those kids were getting molested by the priests.

OMG!!!

[FilLaB0NGo7]

you also automatically become part of al-quada after having sex, doing it in the ear is your only option if you don't want to spend eternity in hell

The ridiculous fraud of the Catholic Church. There were follow up articles on this around the web yesterday.

The Church now wishes to endorse Sexual contact between "married" couples, to thwart "Impotence and Frigidity" while still making no facts or mention of Disease or birth control. This wouldn't be so bad if the Catholic Church was not one of the root causes of Frigidity over the years, due to guilt and demonetisation of sex.

Getting rich is now a sin? Well then I guess the Devil and his brethren are packing their bags and looking for a new place to live, cause everyone involved in the structure of the Catholic Church is headed to Hell now. The Church recruits and takes (TAKES) Donations from some of the poorest nations on Earth under the guise of Saving them...

This is just another example of how religion skews and changes their own rules and laws to suit the times and keep the flock from hopping the fence and running away. Lucky for the Church, there are so many ignorant sheep, willing to ignore instinct and logic and fill the coffers or the Church all for the promise of a beautiful afterlife.

This makes me Laugh out Loud!
