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.
“The sins of today have a social resonance as well as an individual one,” said Mgr Girotti. “In effect, it is more important than ever to pay attention to your sins.”
If the Church can willy-nilly make up mortal sins, how about this for a new deadly sin: “Thou Shalt Not Bugger Young Parishioners!”
