I say six
Katy says: The Catholic Church has announced a list of seven “social” sins, to add to its list of seven Cardinal sins. They are:
1. “Bioethical’ violations such as birth control
2. “Morally dubious” experiments such as stem cell research
3. Drug abuse
4. Polluting the environment
5. Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor
6. Excessive wealth
7. Creating poverty
Since I am busy with work I pose a question: how many of these do you think Hugo Chávez has committed? Discuss.
PS.- On a slightly more serious note, Misión Cadivi, Chavez’s flagship social program for the wealthy, has made it to the New York Times. This article is not to be missed. Check out the last paragraph in the article, it sums up the scam that is Cadivi pretty neatly.
