(aka Apoloblogology) comes the first sane interpretation of the 'New 7 Deadly Sins' that I have seen:
Much has been made of a Vatican pronouncement of seven new deadly sins, which, after reading the sources, was neither a pronouncement, nor an enumeration of seven sins. You gotta love British journalism. It makes real news into tabloids, and tabloids into real news.

Sin #4: Thou Shalt Not Pollute The Environment
What it is not: An assurance that you will go to hell if you drive an SUV or don't recycle.
What it is: A reminder that a correct environmentalism has to have the dignity of human life at its center, as opposed to having a hatred of human life at its center. Whenever we pollute water sources or waste food, we should realize the effect that it has on the poor nations and peoples of this earth, rather than thinking about how those poor people should freaking stop procreating so us Westerners can continue to drive SUV's and throw our Wendy's bags out the window.
Thanks, Mr. Swaim, for bringing a little does of sanity into an otherwise insane world
