VATICAN CITY (AP) -- A Vatican official has listed drugs, pollution, genetic manipulation and social and economic injustices as new areas of sinful behavior.

Sins increasingly manifest themselves as behavior that damages society as a whole, Monsignor Gianfranco Girotti said in an interview published Sunday by the Vatican's daily newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano.

''While sin used to concern mostly the individual, today it has mainly a social resonance, due to the phenomenon of globalization,'' said Girotti, who heads the Apostolic Penitentiary, a Vatican body that issues decisions on matters of conscience and grants absolutions.

Catholic teaching distinguishes between lesser venial sins and mortal sins.

Listing the new areas of sinful behavior, Girotti denounced ''certain violations of the fundamental rights of human nature through experiments, genetic manipulations.''

He also mentioned drugs -- which ''weaken the mind and obscure intelligence'' -- pollution, and the widening social and economic differences between the rich and the poor.

Girotti said the Catholic Church continued to be concerned by other sinful acts, including abortion and pedophilia.

He said Church authorities had reacted with ''rigorous measures'' to child abuse scandals within the clergy, but he also claimed that the issue had been excessively emphasized by the media.

What about sympathizing with genocidal maniacs and suggesting the world's civilied democracies are to blame for world-wide wars and the deaths of millions? I don't have the Batphone connection to god that this fucking jackass claims he has, but I'll bet my salvation that god said that was sinful. At least as bad as getting all high on The Weed and stuff.

No, glenny, Vladimir is very sane.

My first crush was Sister Pierette in St. Michales. She would smack our hands, laugh at our tears.... To this day, I crave to be punished by a woman in black and white wearing a man being murdered around their neck. Just thinking about it, I'm get half a chubby!

I spent my 1st 2 years of education at a parochial school in the Bronx. The nuns seemed nice but I got stuck with 2 lay teachers. Nasty women!

Don't confuse optimism and willingness to try new approaches with naïveté. Barack is a whole lot better than what we've got, less scary than 10,000 Year McInsain, and more trustworthy than Hill-Billy. Barack is no patsy.

nankerphelge "Don't confuse optimism and willingness to try new approaches with naïveté."

Why not?

What has this guy truly done different?

I will give you that he provides that youth and energy and stuff that makes people feel good.

But where is his plan?
What exactly is he out to change?
When did he try this change before?
In Chicago?
Oh yeah, entirely different place now, that Chicago.

Even if he does somehow manage to articulate a true plan -- and I don't mean broad "we musts" -- a true plan, how does he propose we pay for all this change?

Does he advocate tax increases?

Don't get me wrong -- I see people reacting to the guy.
I'm just not sure it isn't irrational exuberance.

glencar Oh but BJ once saw Barry crossing the quad at Harvard back in 1985 & IT'S LOVE!
