Is your name on the list?
This just in: If you're an obscenely wealthy drug-dealing pedophile stem-cell researcher who drives a Hummer and doesn't recycle, you are totally going to hell. Oh please, like you didn't already know.
Hey, the Catholic Church wouldn't lie, mister. The Big Book o' Deadly Sins apparently has a whole new addendum and it looks like it ain't just gluttony and lust and murder and hot porn and witchcraft and coveting thy neighbor's way cool Flickr photo stream anymore. That stuff is for wimps. Serfs. Lutherans.
The Vatican is trying to get serious. Modern. Hip, even. Indeed, Sins 2.0 now includes taking "mind-altering" drugs and polluting the planet and creating poverty and hoarding excessive wealth and messing around with genetics and did you not see the grim expression on the face of that Vatican official when he announced the new aberrations? Totally serious. Deadly. I mean, the scales were flaking right off his face. And if you look closely, you can see God right there, standing just behind the podium like a hulking Dick Cheney figure, nodding gloomily in agreement. Mmm, the Vatican. It's like Disneyland for arthritic masochists.
Hey, don't get mad at me. These are just the rules. I don't make them up, I just report the facts. Like this one: Do you have a healthy Adderall/Zoloft/Budweiser addiction...

Morford commenting on the RCC is the equivalent of Obama commenting on military strategy. In other words, a 100% lack of standing.
I was very fond of the old sins
I loved the excessive wealth one...anyone here been to the Vatican and St. Peters Basilica?
What a POS this author is. I bet he’s gay and ravaged with aides.
I’m still waiting for the big one to rid the world of this garbage city and it’s vile occupants.
..or could it be Morford’s muse might just be the Rev. Jeremiah Wright?
ROTFLOL!!!! Comment of the eve!
Now thats funny...
...and that’s after taking an oath of poverty.
Morford’s muse is more likely a gerbil.
I am dumber for having wasted the 5+ minutes it took to wade through that guy’s dribble that somehow made it into newsprint. Wow. He gets paid for that garbage?
The Vatican’s sins are no worse than the Democrats list of deadly sins ... except maybe for the pedophilia and homsexuality.
I’m wondering if there’s any ‘grandfathered-in’ clause in the new sins. (I think what I just wrote may be a sin)
This report is not an official publication of the Catholic Church. It is a memo written by an influential member of the heirarchy but it is not church policy. The fact that this article appears indicates a very serious lack of understanding of Catholic Doctrine.
Yeah Yeah that was funny Pisser.. just the same..
A few sentences in I thought to myself, "What idiot wrote this?"
Proving to myself that given a completely objective chance, I still find Morford to be a moron.
AIDS.
