The original deadly sins:
1. Pride
2. Envy
3. Gluttony
4. Lust
5. Anger
6. Greed
7. Sloth
The new deadly sins:
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
1. No time for that today.
2. No real information as to what exactly each of these is getting at, thus I am not entirely sure what to react to since there is much ambiguity left with the statements as listed.
3. I was satisfied with God's original Ten Commandments.
I did try to find information on the Vatican web-site, but they did not have an up-dates section and a search did not find much. I did however find a section entitled "Vatican Secret Archives." Now that's a well kept secret.
If anyone has sources for a more detailed explanation of the new deadly sins, please post them.

Rule #1: distrust everything you hear from the secular media about the Catholic Church. Or about any Protestant church, for that matter. They are simply incapable or unwilling to report accurately on matters of faith. Wait, make that "on just about anything." Reality does not sell, so everything is sensationalized.

Thanks Curly, I knew that I would be able to count on you to provide a more detailed explanation on the subject then can be had in the media. It was challenging to find a list, not to mention the complete lack of detailed information.
