This is an open thread to discuss the seven capital sins -- also known as the seven deadly sins -- and their counteracting virtues.

Pray for those virtues!

Question:

So are all those who claimed that they were baptized Catholic, but no longer practice the Catholic faith guilty of sloth?

**Sloth Laxity in keeping the Faith and the practice of virtue

Every Catholic Should be Familiar With The 7 Capital Sins?

How familiar? I’m not Catholic, but I’m pretty good at most of ‘em.

[Salvation]

Good at committing the seven capital sins? I think you didn’t mean that. At least I hope you didn’t.

Good at knowing them — that’s what you meant, correct?

I know I am constantly at battle with Satan with the pride. It seems to be a forerunner of all the sins.

As long as you stay on God's side, you will win. There is no doubt.

It seems to be a forerunner of all the sins.

Amazing how that works, isn't it. Most people seem to think that pride isn't such a big deal, but it really DOES lead to the other sins.

Is this list in order, because gluttony and sloth are towards the bottom. :)

And I thought sloth meant lazy in general (not just lazy in faith), no?

LOL at the photo. My kitchen looks like that sometimes. I trash it when I cook. Still laughing.

Yes I think sloth addresses all kinds of laziness. I was amazed to see the laziness with faith addressed, but it sure makes sense. Brings to mind C and E Catholics who don’t even bother going to Reconciliation during the Easter season.

Hey, I had to eat a lot of food this morning to get it to look that way!! :)
