Sin has social resonance

The Vatican has released a new list of sins, which includes pollution as well as social and economic injustice. I find this new list very compelling, as I have long struggled to understand the concept of sinning in a modern context. Monsignor Gianfranco Girotti said that "While sin used to concern mostly the individual, today it has mainly a social resonance, due to the phenomenon of globalization."
