If people actually took the *original* list of deadly sins seriously, we'd be getting somewhere. This, however, is pushing silly.
Most sins in Christianity fall under the same realm as the FSM's "I'd really rather you didn't"'s, and some of these (like the environment, consumerism, and *****) make sense. With others, though, you can see the blindly-traditionalist view of the Papacy shining through. They speak against scientific experiments even on the informed and willing, and the idea embryos as having significant worth as life.
It's good that they're finally trying to catch up with the times.. but wow, do they have a long way left to go.
I wish the Vatican would hurry up and get things straight, really. Living in the southeast US, Roman Catholics actually tend to be some of the most progressive Christians around. Their services are still very ritual-oriented, and they're held back by a few old rules of Catholic doctrine, but over all they really are pleasant folks as a whole. It's a shame that the people who still call themselves their leaders are still stuck in this "FATHER KNOWS BEST, NOW SHUSH AND REPENT" mindset.

The MoUsY spell-checker Arios V I laughed when I heard this, it's just so ridiculous and further proves that they're making this sin stuff up as they go along. I'm still waiting for them to declare greed a sin. Oh wait...that'll never happen, I must have forgotten that the church is nothing but a bunch of greedy old farts who use false promises to milk people for money. I really doubt anybody will take these seriously. Exactly. Greed is already one of the original seven deadly sins... never mind that the church itself is full of greedy people. xd
Brings hypocrisy to mind doesn't it?

Arios V Sanguvixen Quote: plenary indulgences... it made my ears p***k a little bit... Weren't those a thing of long ago, done away with because of the dishonesty associated with them?
A while ago, the church sold Indulgences in order to bring up enough money for expansive building projects.
Indulgences would pardon a person who is dead and in the purgatory of some sin, or help pardon a still living person of a sin that would cause them to go to the purgatory...or something along that line.
I thought they were outlawed too...because of dishonesty, as you mentioned. This is interesting....it's a step backwards really for the church.
Wait, did you say that indulgences help a dead person get out of purgatory? How does that even work? Although I'm guessing the person who bought the indulgence is a relative of the deceased. That's pretty messed up though. I am surprised that they brought back indulgences, but not too terribly surprised. Just another "fine" way they milk money from people to pay for golden robes, sports cars and summer mansions in Maui.
I was under the impression at least, that Indulgences cannot cure "eternal or mortal sins"...I'm not too well versed on it anymore. I stopped following up after the Roman Catholic Church.
I think people are supposed to go to the Purgatory to be cleansed or something...I really don't know anymore. I should go and re-research all of it. I hate that I have forgotten what I used to know on the subject.

It's been a while since I learned about indulgences so I don't remember what they do and do not cover (although I believe they absolved you of even mortal sins, at least for like 10 days).
I never read up on Purgatory, but I do assume that it is like you said, a place where one can be cleansed of their transgressions after a certain period of time.
