A brief history… Greek theologian Evagrius of Pontius drew up a list of eight “offenses and wicked human passions” in the 5th century BCE Pope Gregory the Great (6th century CE) reduced the list to seven By the Middle Ages, each sin was contradicted with a Heavenly Virtue

Avarice Also known as greed (Latin: avaritia) A sin of excess Applied specifically to the acquisition of wealth (money) in particular Includes: disloyalty, deliberate betrayal, & treason (esp. for personal gain)

Envy An insatiable desire (Latin: invidia) Envy is equated with covetousness The sin of envy causes people to resent that another person has something they lack AND wish the owner to be deprived of whatever it is…

Gluttony Over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste (Latin: gluttire) Originally associated with food and over-eating Seen as a sin when there were many who were without food

Lust Also known as lechery (Latin: cupidita) Excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature Includes: fornication, adultery, rape, & other “perversions”

Sloth Also known as laziness (Latin: socordia) Known as an “apathetic listlessness” Failure to utilize one’s talents and gifts Laziness & indifference

Vanity Also known as pride (Latin: superbia) The ancient Greeks called it Hubris Considered the most serious of the Seven Deadly Sins and the source from which the other six come Excessive self love

Wrath Also known as Anger (Latin: ira) Inordinate and uncontrolled feelings or hatred and anger Seeking vengeance Originally, the sin encompassed anger pointed both internally and externally

So what happens to the sinners? The sin of avarice leads to being boiled in cauldrons of oil for eternity Envy resulted in the sinner being placed in freezing water…for eternity Those guilty of gluttony were forced to eat rats, toads, and snakes…for eternity Lustful sinners were smothered in fire and brimstone…for eternity Prideful sinners were broken on the wheel…for eternity

Let the punishment fit the crime…? The slothful were thrown into pits of snakes…for eternity And finally, the wrathful were dismembered alive…for eternity Dante also believed that each specific sin resulted in a specific punishment in the Inferno (Hell)

The Heavenly Virtues Charity (often paired with love…) Faith Fortitude Hope Justice Prudence Temperance
