Anonymous said...: The Seven Deadly Sins

Paragraph 1866 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that the seven deadly sins are: “pride, avarice, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony and sloth or acedia”. (Catechism of the Catholic Church: Complete and Updated 509). Here they are, along with their Latin words and definitions from Bishop Athanasius Schneider’s catechism, “Credo.” (Schneider 158-163) (“Misericordia et Peccatum.”):

Pride (superbia) – An excessive love of ourselves, especially our own greatness or excellence.
Avarice (avaritia) – An excessive love of and attachment to earthly goods.
Envy (invidia) – A selfish sadness at the prosperity of others, sometimes united with a desire to destroy it.
Wrath (ira) – An excessive anger that wills evil toward someone out of desire for revenge, or an excessive reaction against something contrary to our will or desire.
Lust (luxuria) – The disordered desire for or enjoyment of sexual pleasure.
Gluttony (gula) – A disordered love of eating and drinking.
Sloth or Acedia (pirgitia seu acedia) – A kind of sorrow and weariness about or distaste for spiritual goods, tending to an inordinate love of rest and neglect of duties.……,; 6/14/2026 7:57 AM
