After around 1400 years, Bishop Gianfranco Girotti, head of the Apostolic Penitentiary decided that The seven deadly sins, also known as the capital vices or cardinal sins, required a bit of a modern update to include some of the more pressing threats to that crazy Vatican crowd.

The seven social sins are:

1. “Bioethical’ violations such as birth control
2. “Morally dubious” experiments such as stem cell research
3. Drug abuse
4. Polluting the environment
5. Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor
6. Excessive wealth
7. Creating poverty

The original deadly sins:

1. Pride
2. Envy
3. Gluttony
4. Lust
5. Anger
6. Greed
7. Sloth

The old ones are way cooler imo. Maybe they should make up some rad word for “Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor” and i will be more interested. hah!
