Not recycling a mortal sin? The Vatican says so

Submitted by Matt on Mon, 03/10/2008 - 07:33.

Here's a quick one while I've got a minute. Apparently the Vatican has issued a new set of the seven deadly sins, and polluting the environment is one of them.

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.

The seven, which include polluting the environment, were announced by
Monsignor Gianfranco Girotti, a close ally of the Pope and the head of
the Apostolic Penitentiary, one of the Roman Curia's main court.

[...]

Mgr Girotti said genetic modification, carrying out experiments on
humans, polluting the environment, causing social injustice, causing
poverty, becoming obscenely wealthy and taking drugs were all mortal
sins.

Can't say I disagree, but as for landing me in hell...
