Aside from stealing,what are the sins against the seventh commandment?
 
I would think anything that involves taking what is rightfully another’s - underpayment of wages, for example. Possibly even using more than ones share of something communal.
 
Here’s what “Father Pat” says on the seventh commandment and examination of conscience.Do we respect the property of other people? Have we stolen, damaged or vandalized the property of others?
Have we cheated at work or in school? Have we encouraged others to sin by pressuring them into helping us cheat?
Are we honest and hardworking in school and at work?
Are we faithful to our promises? Can we be trusted? :o
 
I would certainly think that cheating on one’s taxes would fall under this caveat.
as would laziness in doing what is required of you - only doing a 1/2 days work for a full days pay.

Are you stealing from God by not doing what is required of you? Are you depriving the world of mercy & grace by falling to Pray, could that be a form of stealing, Failing to do or provide what is expected or required?
