Alle they renne in o lees, but in diverse manneres. Now been they cleped chieftaynes, for as muche as they been chief and spryng of alle othere synnes. <BR/>--Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales <BR/><BR/>People have always been immoral, shiftless, self-gratifying, good-for-nothing shits. But for ages, humankind struggled to find a conceptual system to operationalize their spiritual shortcomings. The challenge was formidable: the system had to be complex and inclusive enough to implicate a vast range of disgusting behavior, yet simple and memorable enough to inspire guilt in an illiterate peasant. <BR/><BR/>According to Sacred Origins of Profound Things, by Charles Panati, Greek monastic theologian Evagrius of Pontus first drew up a list of eight offenses and wicked human passions:. They were, in order of increasing seriousness: gluttony, lust, avarice, sadness, anger, acedia, vainglory, and pride. Evagrius saw the escalating severity as representing increasing fixation with the self, with pride as the most egregious of the sins. Acedia (from the Greek "akedia," or "not to care") denoted "spiritual sloth." <BR/><BR/>In the late 6th century, Pope Gregory the Great reduced the list to seven items, folding vainglory into pride, acedia into sadness, and adding envy. His ranking of the Sins' seriousness was based on the degree from which they offended against love. It was, from most serious to least: pride, envy, anger, sadness, avarice, gluttony, and lust. Later theologians, including St. Thomas Aquinas, would contradict the notion that the seriousness of the sins could be ranked in this way. The term "covetousness" has historically been used interchangeably with "avarice" in accounts of the Deadly Sins. In the seventeenth century, the Church replaced the vague sin of "sadness" with sloth. <BR/><BR/>Throughout the Middle Ages, Church hierarchy emphasized teaching all lay people the Deadly Sins and Heavenly Virtues. Other spiritual manuals embellished on this tradition. Gerson presents a list of Contrary Virtues in his ABC des simples gens, which was derived from the Psychomatica, or Battle for the Soul, a fifth-century epic poem by Prudentius. He believed these virtues would help counteract temptation toward the Deadly Sins. <BR/><BR/>According to The Picture Book of Devils, Demons and Witchcraft, by Ernst and Johanna Lehner, each of the Sins was associated with a specific punishment in Hell. I once saw a set of 16th-century engravings by George Pencz that used animals in their depictions of the Sins. The prints also used women to symbolize all the Sins, which was probably okay in the sociopolitical climate of the 16th century but probably wouldn't be encouraged nowadays. <BR/><BR/>Sin Punishment in Hell Animal Color <BR/>Pride broken on the wheel Horse Violet <BR/>Envy put in freezing water Dog Green <BR/>Anger dismembered alive Bear Red <BR/>Sloth thrown in snake pits Goat Light Blue <BR/>Greed put in cauldrons of boiling oil Frog Yellow <BR/>Gluttony forced to eat rats, toads, and snakes Pig Orange <BR/>Lust smothered in fire and brimstone Cow Blue <BR/> <BR/><BR/>rebusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-512615033583182026.post-58690201397277602482008-03-31T09:24:00.000-07:002008-03-31T09:24:00.000-07:00Thanks for the post and video.Thanks for the post and video.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
