Day to Day, March 11, 2008 · In an effort to appeal to the modern Catholic,
the Vatican has announced a list of seven new mortal sins. Some of the new
don'ts: thou shalt not pollute and thou shalt not have too much money.
Madeleine Brand speaks with Father James Martin, acting publisher of the
Jesuit magazine America, about the importance of updating the 1,500-year-old
sin list.
"I think it's to remind people that sins are not just individual," he says
referring to the Catholic church's old seven deadly sins lust, gluttony,
greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride. "There's also social sins .. .sins that
affect the community at large and sins that an institution can engage in."
The New Mortal Sins
1.) genetic modification
2.) carrying out experiments on humans
3.) polluting the environment
4.) causing social injustice
5.) causing poverty
6.) becoming obscenely wealthy
7.) taking drugs
In June of 2007, the Vatican also released "Guidelines for the Pastoral Care
of the Road." The list extols the benefits of using a vehicle for family
outings, getting the sick to the hospital and laments a host of ills associated
with automobiles.
The "Drivers' Ten Commandments"
1.) You shall not kill.
2.) The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of
mortal harm.
3.) Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen
events.
4.) Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of
accidents.
5.) Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an
occasion of sin.
6.) Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are
not in a fitting condition to do so.
7.) Support the families of accident victims.
8.) Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate
time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
9.) On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
10.) Feel responsible toward others.
Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action for love,
a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
(Mother Teresa)
