The Vatican, Hell, Plastic, and Recycling

Monday, March 10th, 2008

All churches strive to stay current with the changing times. And so it is with the Catholic Church and the Vatican. The Vatican has commented on sins in this the new century:

“Failing to recycle plastic bags could find you spending eternity in Hell, the Vatican said after drawing up a list of seven deadly sins for our times.”

This gives new meaning to the ‘paper or plastic’ question. Further, the Catholic Church also has a firm stance on extreme wealth. There were no specific mention of Microsoft executives.

I’ve just blogged on this myself (http://layscience.net/?q=node/70), dismantling each of the “sins” in turn. Even if I were a Christian, I don’t see how you can follow a set of statements that - when you analyze them - are basically meaningless…

What Do You Think?
