What are the 5 sins that cry out to heaven for vengeance?

[scriabin]

Reading an editorial by Pat Buchanan mentioned that “sodomy is an abomination leading to personal destruction and damnation, one of the five sins that cry out to heaven for vengeance.”

He didn’t say they came from scripture; but I’m guessing that they do. Anyone know of these 5 sins and is it a traditional Catholic teaching to bunch them together?

CCC 1867
The catechetical tradition also recalls that there are “sins that cry to heaven”: the blood of Abel,139 the sin of the Sodomites,140 the cry of the people oppressed in Egypt,141 the cry of the foreigner, the widow, and the orphan,142 injustice to the wage earner.143
