Spitting in the communion cup

Hi,

In breaking news the Vatican has been reviewing the severity of deadly sins and it looks like there could be a major shake up.

Some of the little known sins are going to fall into the category of "go straight to hell do not collect $200".

The final list isn't out yet but defiling the Eucharist is going to be way high in the list of things only the pope can absolve you of.

Other things on this list include the more publicly known 7 deadly sins. So killing someone might remain as bad as spitting in the communion cup, but only just.

Is this a sign of the Catholic church losing one of its few remaining marbles?

I don't think so - it is in fact enforcement of dogmatic copyright.

With Catholicism spawning a number of more recent religions their paraphernalia and its abuse by these upstarts is a hot topic.

But can you copyright religion and its practice? Surely all religion is based on the basic need for spiritual understanding?

Of course you can! As long as you're monotheistic :-)

Are they going to refer to all the levels of hell? They might need to invent some new ones.

Good question :-)

I personally believe that the road to hell is paved with frozen telemarketers.
