The way the news is reporting this reminds me of when Columbia tried to introduce the New Monkees.
Isabel was lamenting CNN's treatment of the document earlier today.
I now firmly believe that CNN stands for Confused News Network.
And, of course, Drudge has linked to two less than inspiring articles on the matter here and here.
Essentially, the idea seems to be to draw awareness of our moral complicity in contemporary sins that we might not think about in terms of moral theology, like unethical bio-engineering, intentional abuse of the environment, unjust trade practices, etc. None of the articles seem to recognize that what makes these mortal sins is the fact that they are particularized manifestations of the deadly sins.
