As reported by the NYT and a slightly different version from NPR. Created by Archbishop Gianfranco Girotti to attune the Catholic leadership to some of the real evils in our world and reinvigorate the practice of confession (a topic I’ve been meaning to write about for months). I’ve long thought the 10 Commandments might need some updating, and I’d have written a slightly different list, but I’m very much on board with the overall sentiment. If only the announcement had come out during a slower news week and gotten more coverage….
1. Genetic modification
2. Experimenting on humans
3. Drug abuse
4. Polluting the environment
5. Causing social injustice
6. Excessive wealth
7. Creating poverty
