The Vatican Revises Thou-Shall-Not List

Lust, greed, and murder, it seems, are a thing of the past, according to the Vatican. Drug use and life-saving genetic experimentation are what's hot, at least according to the updated thou-shall-not list, which Pope Benedict XVI has modernized for today's lifestyle. The Associated Press tells us that among this season's newest sins, environmental sustainability, or lack thereof, made the list.

On the environment, both Pope Benedict XVI and the late Pope John Paul II frequently expressed concern about the fate of the Earth. During Benedict's papacy, Vatican engineers have developed plans for some Holy See buildings to use solar energy, including photovoltaic cells on the roof of the auditorium for pilgrims' audiences with the pontiff.

While the Vatican's latest turn toward keeping the earth green is a breath of fresh air, literally, they've also heavily denounced any coverage by the media of the numerous scandals or sin within the church, which "discredits the church." God forbid. Read more about the Catholic churches latests sins here.
