COMMENTARY
One of the great treasures from the Roman Catholic tradition is its longstanding list of the Seven Deadly Sins (e.g.: Envy, Greed, Gluttony, Anger, Sloth, Lust, and Pride). Even with its limitations, such as isolating only a few areas of failure, this teaching has highlighted human tendencies that offend God, and harm us. It has been a good teaching tool for young disciples.
