Vatican Modernizes With Sins 2.0

Audiences laughed and groaned when Kevin Smith portrayed a modernizing church with "Catholicism – WOW!" and a hipper "Buddy Christ"; in the movie Dogma. While not as upbeat, the Vatican did release a substantive dogma of modernization recently by identifying new, contemporary sins. New sins include drug abuse, pollution, genetic manipulation and acts of social and economic injustice according to Archbishop Gianfranco Girotti. These new sins do not equal the seven deadly sins; introduced in the sixth century. Rather, they augment the growing list of venial sins which while bad, will not guarantee damnation to hell. As the church upgrades the list of sinful deeds, studies show that followers already avoid confession – up to 60% in Italy no longer even bother with the practice.
