SEVEN DEADLY SINS

Seven Deadly Sins Cardinal sins Also known as capital vices 2 categories VENIAL- minor sins (forgiven in sacrament) CAPITAL- mortal sins, when committed, destroy the life of grace and threaten eternal damnation unless absolved or forgiven through confession and penitance

European artists depicted seven deadly sins as a popular theme European artists depicted seven deadly sins as a popular theme. Hieronymus Bosch’s The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things.

Corresponding Holy Virtues To parallel the sins they oppose, there are seven holy virtues. Guess what they are.

Holy Virtues Chastity- like abstinence Charity- giving Temperance-moderate in eating Diligence- working hard Patience or forgiveness Kindness-admiration Humility- modest

Sin and Virtue Pride - Humility Envy -Kindness Wrath - Patience or Forgiveness Sloth - Diligence Greed - Charity Gluttony - Temperance Lust – Chastity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znmZoVkCjpI

Bible vs Dante’s Inferno The Bible does NOT refer to seven deadly sins, but Dante’s Divine Comedy, Purgatorio, is the best source. By categorizing the sins, it helped priests to figure out how to get people to repent and how to punish them so they wouldn’t go to hell. Dante had specific punishments for each sin.

Gluttony Derived from Latin to gulp down or swallow Over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste Dante’s hell- they had to eat rats/toads/ snakes.

Gluttony Depends on culture - where food is scarce and is a status symbol, taking pride in having a lot is a vice. Where food is plentiful- not having self-control is the vice. Which are we? Early Church leader said it was: Eating too soon Too expensively Too much Too eagerly Too daintily- Prioress

Greed Avarice: extreme greed for wealth or material gain. Sin of excess like gluttony, only this isn’t food, it’s wealth. Includes disloyalty, deliberate betrayal, treason for Personal Gain. Hoarding materials or objects, robbery, especially by means of violence or trickery. Simony- where one profits form solicitng goods within the actual confines of a church Dante- bound face down on board for thinking earthly thoughts

SLOTH Has considerably changed since its beginning. Used to be sadness, or depression, joylessness- a refusal to enjoy the goodness of God and the world he created. Spiritual apathy Changed to discontent, “uneasiness of the mind” Failure to love God with all your heart TODAY IT STANDS FOR LAZINESS, UNWILLINGESS TO ACT OR CARE, rather than a failure to love God, so now it is not such a serious sin.

Sloth- Dante’s Purgatorio made slothful penitents (sinners) RUN at TOP SPEED

We even make fun of slothful people

Envy Like GREED, envy has Insatiable desire, but greed is for material goods, and envy is more general. They covet something someone else has, or something they think they lack

Envious Glance Dante’s hell has the envious having their eyes sewn shut with wire because they have gained sinful pleasure from seeing others brought low

Green with envy Early church leader Thomas Aquinas described envy as “sorrow for another’s good”. The color green is associated with this sin.

WRATH or Anger Uncontrolled feelings of hatred Do EVIL or HARM to others Desire to seek revenge outside of the workings of the justice system Vengeance: murder, assault, and genocide Only sin not necessarily associated with selfishness or self interest Dante’s hell has sinners dismembered while still ALIVE! Batman exemplifies this because he acts out of vengeance.

Lust Obsessive thought or desires of a sexual nature. Dante- “excessive love of others”, penitence is to walk through the flames to purge oneself from lustful thoughts Marilyn Monroe- sexy woman of the 60’s

Love and Lust Love and lust are two different things A Genuine, selfless love represents the highest degree of development while lust is an excessive desire for sexual release. The other person is just a “means to an end” for the fulfillment of the subject’s desires.

The worst one… This is the sin that is depicted as the trunk of the sin tree because most other sins come from it. It is the MOST DEADLY of all the sins. In the BIBLE, this was the downfall of LUCIFER- it caused his fall from heaven. WHAT IS IT?

Pride can be the downfall of the young, old, or even cartoon characters. It is sometimes referred to as VANITY. Dante’s hell: had to walk with stone slabs bearing down on back to induce humility.

Biblical list vs Seven Deadly Sins list While there are 7 of these sins, they differ from the 7 deadly sins of the Roman Catholic Church in Medieval times. Only PRIDE is clearly listed on both! As stated before no where in the Bible are the seven deadly sins stated, although you can kind of connect the sins to the seven deadly ones. “Hands that kill”- Wrath, but that connection is not necessarily biblical. Bible makes it clear in the New Testament that it only takes one sin, which is an act of disobeying God’s law, to separate man from a perfect God, placing him in need of salvation.
