"Just an FYI - there is no list of "7 Deadly Sins" in the Bible. It is a part of the Catholic catechism."

And it pre-dates the reformation so it was once commonly accepted by all Christians. I know of no Protestant reformers who have accepted these acts as anything other than sins

Of course they are sins. They just weren't written in stone. I'm guessing that that means that there was an intended distinction between mortal and venal sins.
