"New" Deadly Sins? What's Up?

[Dale_M]

The claims of a new list of deadly sins are simply another example of the press mis-reporting on religion. It happens all too often, and in this case media outlets around the world were quick to repeat the mistaken reports of other news outlets. News organizations often dogpile on stories, especially if it seems to be sensational news.

On another forum where I post, they are saying that lust has been removed as one of the deadly sins & in it’s place is the sin of being wealthy??

I said that the Vatican was against systems whereby the rich get their wealth through the explotation of the poor, and that’s what the new sin was speaking of.

They claim not true - that the Vatican is just after all the rich people’s money. (So stupid - I know).

My question - is there anything offical I can quote that says that lust is still a sin, and also something that explains that it’s not being “rich” that is the sin???

Thanks much, God bless.
