Proliferation of Sins
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Simplified
Effects of Repeated Sins (1865)
Within the person, repetition of sin brings about a proclivity to sin, resulting in perverse inclinations and erroneous judgments. Sin reinforces itself and destroys any moral roots.
The Seven Capital Sins (1866)
Some sins are called "capital" (according to St. John Cassian and St. Gregory) because they engender other sins. The seven capital sins are pride, avarice, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth.
Sins That Cry to Heaven (1867)
These sins include the blood of Abel (murder), the sin of the Sodomites (sodomy), the cry of the oppressed, the widow or the orphan, and the injustice to a wage earner.
Accomplices in Sin (1868-1869)
We have a duty not cooperate in the sins of others. Therefore, we must avoid any direct participating in, or ordering sinful acts. Also, we cannot approve sinful acts by allowing them or by protecting evildoers.
Men can become accomplices in sin and cause injustice to reign by bringing about "social sins." These sins establish sinful structures and institutions which are against God's goodness and cause people to sin.
