Has The Vatican upped the stakes on your ticket to heaven? Did they create The New Seven Deadly Sins? The truthful answer is, No!
Then the question is, 'Is it a hoax?'
The Then the question is, 'Is it a hoax?'
Maybe everyone knows there are new sins, and want the Church to update?
Maybe everyone is jumping all over this topic because of a guilty conscious?
For those of you who have been fooled by the outbreak of news flashes about the Seven Deadly Sins, suddenly being changed, to the Seven Deadly Modern Sins, and you might be facing damnation, you can relax. The media blew it out of proportion, and although it's not an intended hoax, it's a cross between a hoax and a bad case of misinformation all the same.
It was another one of those incidents where Internet Media pulled a peruana attack on a simple interview with a Bishop, and all the facts were blown out of proportion. This is not an uncommon occurrence with News Media, the race to get the story out first has more competition than ever before with Self Appointed News Hounds on hundreds of thousands of News Sites and Blogs.
The Bishop apparently had much disappointment in the media for blasting and misinterpreting his interview in L'Osservatore Romano. He felt that it only proved that the modern world truly doesn't understand the nature of sin. With the frenzied coverage of his interview, the mass media, although unintentionally, undermined his point.
Sadly, that's what happens when gossip spreads, the facts get screwed up, and everyone believes what they hear, and repeat it in their own articles without proper research to back it up.
What Bishop Girotti had intended to get across as a message, was that Catholics need to re-explore their moralities, to have a sense of sin, and make use of the confession booths to clear them free from the sin, and their offenses.
In the release of the L'Osservatore Romano publishing, Bishop Girotti hadn't anticipated such a travesty, and the unforseen media reinventing the

In keeping with modern times, Gianfranco Girotti has brought up some excellent points.

There really is no down side to what has happened in the press. It has proved to the Church that people care enough about sinning, and having a clean slate, to write about it. It has people everywhere talking about it. They are all looking to the Church to do something about it.
Was it a blessing in disguise?
Nobody knows.
There are many lessons to be learned in this article. Don't always believe everything you read, and do your research before you believe it. I almost fell for it to, I heard about it on David Letterman. But I went straight to the sources before I wrote it, as I have learned my lesson in the past, that just because it's blasted news, doesn't mean it's true. It can happen to any of us when it comes to online writing, no one is perfect. But we all need to slow down, read carefully, pay attention to detail, and do your research as best you can before the gossip leaves your desk.

Top-level comments on this article: (2 total)Wow! There is so much useful content here I do not know where to begin. Perhaps I should just say I completely understand how you are the top rated author on this entire sight! I cannot imagine how you have the time to submit so many HIGH QUALTIY articles. Thank you for your contributions. lolHi Myla, Thanks for stopping by and reading my article. It's always great to read your comments. Thanks for your kind words.. Sacreeta
thanks! i just heard about it just today, and as a catholic i was immediately skeptical. i only found your site after 3 different searches, in about page 3... in other words, everyone still thinks the 7 deadly sins list have been extended! thanks for doing the legwork on this.Hi Gabby, Thank you for reading my article and leaving such a great comment. Unless something like that comes from the Pope Himself, (and on the Vatican telecast) I wouldn't believe it. The media sometimes has nothing interesting to write about, and things get blown out of sorts, for a story. Makes me feel my efforts to unravvel the truth is worth it, when great readers such as yourself, take the time to find articles that aren't in it for the hype. It might not be as flary, to get to the true facts, and it is a lot of extra work, but it's worth it to stay true to the nature of the subject. Noone likes to be mislead, and although it can happen to the best of us, mistakes can be made, sometimes I make mistakes myself. But, doing the extra leg work at getting to the real story is worth the effort in the end. Thanks for your appreciation, Great to meet you. Sacreeta
