AIM: Where do the seven deadly sins show up in the world today?
DO NOW: Write the following definition in your English binder: The Seven Deadly Sins are really attitudes that underlie sins, whether mortal or venial, first identified by St. John Cassian (360 - 435) in his Conferences and refined by Pope St. Gregory the Great (540 - 604). They provide keys to understanding our faults and the actions that result, and a framework for self knowledge. If we understood how they factor into who we have become, we would understand much more about ourselves and our effect on others. The Seven Deadly Sins never occur as a list in the Bible, but occur many times individually.

FROM GREEK MYTHOLOGY: Oracle at D
elphiInscribed in ancient times at the "Know thyself." Self-knowledge follows closely behind the knowledge of God, and self-knowledge for anyone means knowledge of sin. "My own heart shows me the way of the ungodly." Scripture says we are all sinners, and we don't mind as long as the sins are nameless and faceless. When we name a sin found in ourselves (by Grace) it is as though we are confronted in the back alleys of our souls with furtive saboteurs and muggers who seek to prevent our union with God. The sudden self-revelation of a serious fault is one thing: the discovery of a deadly sin which we hate very much in others is worse. It is like finding out a spouse is unfaithful, or worse, that we have been blindly unfaithful to the Spouse of our soul.Slide3
VENIAL SINS & MORTAL SINS
A venial sin guilt is less intense. A mortal sin is believed to destroy the life of grace within the person and thus creates the threat of eternal damnation. "Mortal sin, by attacking the vital principle within us – that is, charity - necessitates a new initiative of God's mercy and a conversion of heart .The Deadly Sins do not belong to an additional category of sin. Rather, they are the sins that are seen as the origin ("capital" comes from the Latin caput, head) of the other sins. A "deadly sin" can be either venial or mortal, depending on the situation; but "they are called 'capital' because they engender other sins, other vices

ALLEGORY vs. SYMBOL
An allegory is a narrative that serves as an extended metaphor. Allegories are written in the form of fables, parables, poems, and stories or most forms and genres. The main purpose of an allegory is to tell a story by presenting characters, a setting, and symbols that have literal and figurative meaning. The difference between an allegory and a symbol is that an allegory is a complete narrative that conveys abstract ideas to get a point across, where a symbol is a representation of an idea or concept that can have different meanings throughout a literary work. The characters in an allegory are often presented as embodiments of moral qualities and other abstractions.Slide18
