The Vatican Newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano, recently published a list of the 'new' 7 deadly sins.
They are as follows:
1) genetic modification
2) human experimentation's
3) polluting the environment
4) social injustice
5) causing poverty
6) financial gluttony
7) taking drugs
So now you know what to not do to be good in the eyes of the Catholic Church.
These are the original 7, that we know and love, and the punishment you'll receive in Hell if you commit them:
Pride - Broken on the wheel
Envy - Put in freezing water
Gluttony - Forced to eat rats, toads, and snakes
Lust - Smothered in fire and brimstone
Anger - Dismembered alive
Greed - Put in cauldrons of boiling oil
Sloth - Thrown in snake pits
www.deadlysins.com is a lovely little website which tells you all about the 7 deadly sins, and the 7 heavenly virtues. It's quite funny and very interesting :)

Wow! This is interesting, I haven't seen it before, and I consider myself as a (kinda) catholic.
1) genetic modification - yeah, good one, it should be forbbiden! why? well we could find cure for cancer, or for death! and what than with heaven and hell? World cannot develope! Lets rise iquisition again!
2) human experimentation's - the same as above.
3) polluting the environment - this isn't a sin, this is a serious problem but well I'm ok with this one
4) social injustice - Church hasn't ever been that close to Marx. But I agree, there shouldn't be any priviligate social group which feels that have a power over the rest. hypocrisy?
5) causing poverty - the same as polluting, but I'm not sure if we should consider it as a sin...
6) financial gluttony - yeah right... hypocrisy again
7) taking drugs - why not? because it's running from the real world different way than through religion?
New Dedly Sins?
Hypocritic and with intention to stop world's developement... nothing new in this religion.
