The Eighth Deadly Sin

     Speaking yesterday at St. James I referenced the seven deadly sins. Originally they were enumerated by early church fathers and there were more than seven. Thomas Aquinas combined them into the seven that we have today: greed, envy, wrath, sloth, gluttony which includes drunkenness, lust and pride. These were seen to be roots of all other sins. Given the situation in which we find ourselves today I proposed we add an eighth sin. It's the one referred to by the anonymous commenter, hatred. Often I've thought that the essence of them all is selfishness. Facetiously I suggested that we separate into focus groups, as in "pride over there, envy in the back, etc. 😁

    Your word for the day "sin"!
