Re: Catholic church updates the deadly sins for our age

Here is a clearer English translation:

The seven social sins 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

Rats! Not as sinful as I thought I was: only violations of 4, 7 and maybe 5 (when I get a new MacBook Pro).

The EPA has targeted Apple for making pc's with environmentally unfriendly components. So if you bought a new mac book pro you would once again be violating 4, though as you would have to spend an arm and a leg, it might make you have less excessive wealth, so you aren't' as guilty of 6.
And what if you by a mac book pro and it totally wipes you out financially. Is that an example of 7? (ie. can you create poverty by making yourself poor, or is it only  sinful if you do it to others).
