The AP
reports that the Vatican has decided to modernize its list of
sins -- and will even include some bits about the
environment.
Father Antonio Pelayo, a Spanish priest and Vatican expert noted that it is time for both sinners and confessors to get over their obsession with sex and think about other ways humans hurt each other in the world in which they live.
"There are many other sins that are perhaps much more grave that don't have anything to do with sex - that have to do with life, that have to do with the environment, that have to do with justice," he told AP Television.
Meanwhile, in the Spitzer household: "Honey, I may have had an affair with the prostitute, but at least I saved energy by keeping the lights off."
