“...murder, contraception, abortion, perjury, adultery and lust.”
Added to sloth, greed, pride, envy, gluttony and wrath. Lust was already there. What is the pope trying to tell us, that lust is a double sin?
I guess those condoms ARE that important, dawg! ;o)
Well now, if you are married, you don’t need a condom, and if you are not married, you aren’t supposed to have sex outside of marriage, ergo, why do you need a condom?

ROTFLMAO! ‘FRiends don’t let FRiends vote Dems!’
“Bishop Girotti said that mortal sins also included taking or dealing in drugs, and social injustice which caused poverty or the excessive accumulation of wealth by a few.”
We need a list of those drugs. And watch out you rich guys!!!
Hah. That "social injustice which caused poverty or the excessive accumulation of wealth by a few" item suggests that voting Democrat is required....
"Liberation Theology", v2.0.
Pedophilia is on the list.
Of course, our liberal friends won’t prosecute that director who now resides in France - in fact they honor him.
In fairness to that director, he had a sexual liaison with a 13 yr old girl, which, in my opinion, is only “inordo amoris” and not pedophilia.
Another one I wasn’t fond of is “Interferes with Social Justice” (I’m paraphrasing) - social justice is code for leftwing activism and raising taxes, removing property rights, adding a federal beaurocracy to oversee the other useless ones, altogether abolishing private property and outlawing homeschooling - these are all synonyms of “Social Justice”.

Always a silver lining, eh Joisey?!
...and oddly molestering children once again escapes the list
save some space for me
Oh course...
I do not see the moral equivalence between abortion and contraception.
This edict prohibits “cloning”.
Well, since we’ve already accepted abortion in our society, and in fact, most liberals view abortion as social justice and indeed as a social good, perhaps we should clone people.
Let’s clone Maria Sharapova. Clone her 25,000 times over - each family can have a daughter who looks like Maria and we’ll raise her Catholic.
We Catholics can counter argue that cloning will be a way to defeat evil.
Is cloning evil?
Is it?
As a devout Catholic who despises abortion and any other evil, perhaps cloning is going to be our “material” salvation.

If you commit a mortal sin before the pope said it was one, it is still a mortal sin?
I guess the priests had a vote in the new seven???

VERY misleading article.
I know I am going to Hell. i have had a vasectomy.
Cloning has been going on for a century. Not a problem. Even animal cloning is kind of not a concern. But human cloning is way beyond what is prudent whatever the Vatican says.
If after confession who decides one has been penitent enough?
