The entire BBC posting had not even one hint of humour in it. How could they resist?

Has the death of Cardinal Sin freed us to partake in the seven delicious activities?

1. PRIDE
2. ENVY
3. WRATH
4. SLOTH
5. GREED
6. GLUTTONY
7. LUST

Whose next on the list - Cardinal Holy Confession?

When I was growing up in darkest cornwall we had a local parish vicar called Reverend Irreverent. True story.

Apparently, he did have a sense of humor about his name, calling his home a 'House of Sin'.

Dammit, fellow, when you number the Seven Deadly Sins like that, they are the Ordinal Sins.

No...wait... sorry.

Aimless, can you pass the sacramental wine, please? I'm feeling parched.

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 21 June 2005 17:38 (twenty years ago)

Hmmm, where did I put that bloody wine?

― Aimless (Aimless), Tuesday, 21 June 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

Don't do what you did last time. Pissing into a paper cup and then handing it to me does not count as 'passing the wine'.

The ordinance of the cardinal sins is indeed important - had you attended your catechism classes instead of sneaking off to smoke behind the bicycle shed, you would have known.

For future reference, remember, the wine only turns bloody after consecration (past the half way point of the mass, when the great unwashed are down on their knees faking pennance). Oddly enough, the bread turns fleshy at the same time.

Which is roughly the point at which I turn over in my bed and vaguely consider going downstairs to make coffee.

One man's pennance is another man's sin.

El que de vosotros esté sin pecado sea el primero en arrojar la primera piedra
