The Seven Deadly Sins, also known as the Capital Vices or
Cardinal
Sins, is a classification of the most objectionable vices that has
been used since early Christian times to educate and instruct
followers concerning (immoral) fallen humanity's tendency to
sin. The final version of the list consists of wrath, greed,
sloth,pride, lust, envy, and gluttony.
The Catholic Church divided sin into two principal categories:
"venial sins", which are relatively minor and could be forgiven
through any sacramentals or sacraments of the church, and the more
severe "capital" or mortal sins. Mortal sins are believed to
destroy the life of grace and create the threat of eternal
damnation unless either absolved through the sacrament of Penance
or forgiven through perfect contrition on the part of the penitent.
Beginning in the early 14th century, the popularity of the seven
deadly sins as a theme among European artists of the time
eventually helped to ingrain them in many areas of Catholic culture
and Catholic consciousness in general throughout the world.One
means of such ingraining was the creation of the mnemonic
"SALIGIA"
based on the first letters in Latin of the seven deadly sins:
superbia, avaritia, luxuria, invidia, gula, ira,
acedia.[1]
