  11. Gluttony • Depends on culture- where food is scarce and is a status symbol, taking pride in having a lot is a vice. Where food is plentiful- not having self-control is the vice. Which are we? • it was: • Eating too soon • Too expensively • Too much • Too eagerly • Too daintily- Prioress

Used to be sadness, or depression, joylessness- a refusal to enjoy the goodness of God and the world he created. • Spiritual apathy • Changed to discontent, “uneasiness of the mind” • Failure to love God with all your heart • TODAY IT STANDS FOR LAZINESS, UNWILLINGESS TO ACT OR CARE, rather than a failure to love God, so now it is not such a serious sin.

  20. Love and Lust • Love and lust are two different things • A Genuine, selfless love represents the highest degree of development while lust is an excessive desire for The other person is just a “means to an end” for the fulfillment of the desires
