Judgment Day Part 4224

At the pearly gates, St. Peter was reminding those in line of their earthly vices. To one man, he said, "You were such a drunk, that you even married a woman named Sherry." To another man, he said, "You were so fat, that you even married a woman named Bonbon."

At that point, a lawyer grabbed his wife's hand and said, "Let's get out of here, Penny."

Vices can be classified according to the virtues they oppose, or also be linked to the capital sins which Christian experience has distinguished, folowing St. John Cassian and St. Gregory the Great. They are called "capital" because they engender other sins, other vices. They are pride, avarice, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth or acedia. (Catholic Catechism Par. 1866)
