The 7 DEADLY SINS

LUST




INTERESTING SERIES. We learn how the concept originated—as a way to keep a lustful fourth-century monk from sinning again—and how they were changed by papal rule from eight to the seven we recognize today: gluttony, lust, greed, anger, sloth, envy, and pride. For the Catholic faithful they became a guide on the path to heaven. To warn possible offenders, the Church promised damnation in Hell and very specific, very gruesome punishments. Gluttons, for instance, would be force-fed rats, toads and snakes.
