Seven sensationalist sins

To the 1,342 readers (give or take a few) who sent us variations on the “Seven Deadly Sins” stories being published everywhere — we heard you.

It looks like the entire brouhaha started with a remarkably bad story in the Times of London. Headline (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article3517050.ece): Seven new deadly sins: are you guilty? Richard Owen, reporting from Rome, wrote: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.


After 1,500 years the Vatican has brought the seven deadly sins up to date by adding seven new ones for the age of globalisation.

The vatican is out of touch with the masses. All they are concerned with is covering up the crimes of their pedophile priests most of whom got their start in the Archdiocese of Boston under the guidance of Cardinal Bernie Law. Bernie's now hiding out in the vatican for fear that he will be indicted in MA for pedophilia if he ever returns. Like Charlie on the MTA.
