hou shall not pollute the Earth. Thou shall beware genetic manipulation. Modern times bring with them modern sins. So the Vatican has told the faithful that they should be aware of "new" sins such as causing environmental blight.

The guidance came at the weekend when Archbishop Gianfranco Girotti, the Vatican's number two man in the sometimes murky area of sins and penance, spoke of modern evils.

Asked what he believed were today's "new sins," he told the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano that the greatest danger zone for the modern soul was the largely uncharted world of bioethics.

I suppose Jeebus told the pope that these were sins? Because I thought only "god" got to say what was and wasn't a sin. :roll:

hey general, the rules change you know....i think they make them up as they go along

[Yo Mama]

I know they do. I'm just being facetious. :P

Pffffttt.....I also read that 60% of all catholics in Italy don't go to confession anymore. Lines must've been too long.

Nah, in most European countries and Canada, religion is slowly dying an ugly, protracted death -- much like a terminal patient kept alive on machines against their will because it's against "god's law" to let them have help committing suicide.

Unfortunately for us, we still have too many people stuck in the dark ages of the mind.

Actually, in the world of Catholicism, the church is all powerful.



Jesus is, most of the time, just an afterthought for the church.

A catholic mass will make you want to commit suicide....just to put yourself out of the misery of sitting there so damn long.
