If you missed the Vatican’s latest list of seven ‘social’ sins, they are:
1. Bioethical violations such as birth control
2. Morally dubious experiments such as stem cell research
3. Drug abuse
4. Polluting the environment
5. Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor
6. Excessive wealth
7. Creating poverty
I am not guilty of many on this list. However, personally, the last three weigh heavily on my conscience.
It’s one of the beautiful aspects of New Testatment - the way poverty is essential for the soul. To choose poverty is one of the great mysteries of spirituality.
