What’s a deadly sin, anyway?
Most people know about the deadly sins, and most people could probably name them all, if they had to, but where did they come from? Why are there seven of them? Why are these sins, in particular, deadly? We’re here to answer all this and more, but first, a quick refresher:
The 7 Deadly Sins:
- Pride, or self-satisfaction
- Greed, or uncontrolled desire to possess
- Wrath, or unchecked anger
- Envy, or uncontrolled desire (in general)
- Lust, or sexual desire
- Gluttony, or overconsumption and waste
-
Sloth, or laziness, or apathy
Where did the 7 deadly sins come from?
Originally, a monk in the fourth century, Evagrius Ponticus, made a list of eight severe acts of sin, hoping to categorize all the ways man can commit evil. Ponticus’ list looked a little different than the one we have today and included Gluttony, Fornication, Greed, Sadness (at someone else’s good fortune), Wrath, Dejection, Boasting, and Pride. Then, one of Ponticus’ students, John Cassian, wrote about these sins and contemplated them. Eventually, Pope Gregory I took up the idea and distilled the sins into his own list of 7, which we know today as the 7 Deadly sins.
Why are they called “deadly?”
The sins are “deadly” because they’re pretty serious, essentially. Religious scholars proposed that they were the “capital” sins, or main sins, and every other sin you can name is actually just a form of one of the 7 deadly sins. Others say that if you commit one of the 7 deadly sins, it brings eternal death to the soul and that they’re one-way tickets to damnation. Whether or not that’s true depends on what you believe.
