7 "social sins" posted about yesterday are not official church position

So my instinct WAS right in that there was no way that the Catholic Church was trying to add to the list of 7 mortal sins. But you really can't get more credible a source that The Associated Press. It turns out that they were fooled. Which actually points out just how credible (or not so credible) the mainstream media is these days.

The true situation is that an Archbishop from the Catholic Church was really making an appeal to churchgoers to increase their use of the sacrament of Confession.

Yes, it seemed far fetched, and it was.

Not that the new list doesn't carry weight however. It certainly is worthy of note.

The Catholic World News has the story.
