...we have failed to assign it to the sin of coveting... You are 100% right. The sin of coveting is largely forgotten, and when asked to explain it, most people fall quite short today.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. - Exodus 20:17 (emphasis added)

As God made coveting one of the big TEN rules for human life, it is not surprising to see the bloody consequences of an ideology (Marxism/fascism) and government machinery built on coveting.
We see the mass murder in Nations that take up coveting as a political cause and governing organization, or as liberals say, “American values” and “social justice”, over and over again. It is sickening that many Catholics and Christians have not figured this out yet.
