Thou Shalt Not Make Fun of Our Tiny Country...

This one's for all of you who think that Catholocism is a sharp choice.
The Vatican cooked up some new sins.
Hang on, let me get his name.
Archbishop Gianfranco Girotti. Not the pope. One of the pope's henchmen.
Just released them the other day.
It's now a sin to perform stem cell research, genetic manupulation, and I think there's something in there about wearing crocs before the first day of Spring.
Now. First of all. I don't necessarily disagree with my man Gianfranco. There's also a sin against pollution.
Good.
At least these refer to the possability that science might exist.
Which is just as well. Because religious zealots need to get their head out of their ass on this issue.
Science is a pack of shit until they get a brain embalism.
Then it's a different story.
"Do you have something that can get it out? You do? Is it prayer? No? Well, fuck it. Do it anyway."
But that's not even the point.
If it's bad, announce that it's bad.
But new sins?
You can't just make new sins.
There's seven of them. Seven deadly sins. We've all seen the movie. We know how it works.
Can you list 'em?
Everyone can get two or three, usually.
But, if you're on a city bus, chances are, between all of the passengers and the driver, you can come up with the seven of them.
And that's not bad. Considering they're two thousand years old.
But you can't just add new ones to the mix now.
It's too late, Gianfranco; you had to be there.
Make up some new commandments, while you're at it.
God won't mind.
This would be a bit, but Margaret Cho already did it.
And there's no way I'm coming up with something better than her material.

Alright, let's try to think of them.
This is a serious effort. These are the ones I can think of.
Comment with the others if you can remember them.
No cheating!
Just think of the murders in the movie.
Pride
Gluttony
Vanity
...
That's all I got.

[eDit]: I thought of another one already.
