I wonder how the Philippine Catholic church would react to this update. It would pretty interesting and it could finally be a reason for them to grow a spine and call for GMA's resignation because GMA is guilty of almost every sin especially #14: causing social injustice! :grin: Spot on ia!

They just gave modern-day samples for each of the original items in the list so that we could relate to it much easier...or so they thought. :roll: It is redundant.

That's not so bad except that since humans are imperfect, we can't exactly interpret them perfectly, either. I remember reading this pamphlet for confession that expounds on the 10 commandments and one of the "guide questions" asked was: did I spend time in the dark with a person of the opposite sex? (Not verbatim) I can't even remember under what commandment did that fall under. Anyway. The list is too specific this time because they probably wanted to be really relevant today. Despite the shortcomings of the original list, it was more "elegant" (in a Computer Science sort of way). <em>ia's last blog post..<a href='http://stellify.net/html5-b-and-i-tags-are-going-to-be-useful-read-semantic-again/'>HTML5: <b> and <i> tags are going to be useful (read: semantic) again!</a></em> I agree with Ade, though the usual problem with religion is that its teachings are too general/vague.

I had one other notion that I edited out for the sake of clarity. But along with Jam's realization that two of the "sins 2.0" (I like that!) speak to the conflict between science and religion, it fits here. The obscene wealth, social injustice, and perhaps abortion and pollution sins are about the conflict between individual and community. It struck me that this was a recapitualation of the ideas that came from Vatican II, to make the Church (and the Mass in particular) much more horizontal, and subsequently, less vertical. Oh, and I agree with Ade that the new list seems real redundant. Even if the idea was to replace Dante's/Gregory's list with the 2.0 version, I don't see the improvement. <em>Joe Buckley's last blog post..<a href='http://joebuckley.wordpress.com/2008/03/10/should-scientists-date-astrologers/'>Should Scientists Date Astrologers?</a></em> jhay,
