Exactly what the heck is going on with the Catholic Church these days?
Recycle or go to Hell, warns Vatican
Failing to recycle plastic bags could find you spending eternity in Hell, the Vatican said after drawing up a list of seven deadly sins for our times. The seven, which include polluting the environment, were announced by Monsignor Gianfranco Girotti, a close ally of the Pope and the head of the Apostolic Penitentiary, one of the Roman Curia's main court.
The "sins of yesteryear" - sloth, envy, gluttony, greed, lust, wrath and pride - have a "rather individualistic dimension", he told the Osservatore Romano, the official Vatican newspaper. The new seven deadly, or mortal, sins are designed to make worshippers realise that their vices have an effect on others as well....
.... Mgr Girotti said genetic modification, carrying out experiments on humans, polluting the environment, causing social injustice, causing poverty, becoming obscenely wealthy and taking drugs were all mortal sins.
What a bunch of vaguely embarrassing crapola. It reads like some lefty screed. Causing social injustice? WTF? What is "obscenely wealthy" to such a rich organization anyway? Rich compared to whom? With the church's support of illegal immigration in this country I've about had it frankly...
