Vice

Definition: Placeholder

As used herein, Vice refers to Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Warth, Envy and Pride.  Here is a quote from the Wikipedia article on the Seven Deadly Sins:

The modern concept of the seven deadly sins is linked to the works of the fourth-century monk Evagrius Ponticus, who listed eight evil thoughts in Greek as follows:^[8][9]

1. Γαστριμαργία (gastrimargia) gluttony
2. Πορνεία (porneia) prostitution, fornication
3. Φιλαργυρία (philargyria) avarice (greed)
4. Ὑπερηφανία (hyperēphania) pride – sometimes rendered as self-overestimation, arrogance, grandiosity ^[10]
5. Λύπη (lypē) sadness – in the Philokalia, this term is rendered as envy, sadness at another's good fortune
6. Ὀργή (orgē) wrath
7. Κενοδοξία (kenodoxia) boasting
8. Ἀκηδία (akēdia) acedia – in the Philokalia, this term is rendered as dejection

They were translated into the Latin of Western Christianity (largely due to the writings of John Cassian),^[11][12] thus becoming part of the Western tradition's spiritual pietas (or Catholic devotions), as follows:^[13]

1. Gula (gluttony)
2. Luxuria/Fornicatio (lust, fornication)
3. Avaritia (avarice/greed)
4. Superbia (pride, hubris)
5. Tristitia (sorrow/despair/despondency)
6. Ira (wrath)
7. Vanagloria (vainglory)
8. Acedia (sloth)

These "evil thoughts" can be categorized into three types:^[13]

• lustful appetite (gluttony, fornication, and avarice)
• irascibility (wrath)
• mind corruption (vainglory, sorrow, pride, and discouragement)

In AD 590 Pope Gregory I revised this list to form the more common list. Gregory combined tristitia with acedia, and vanagloria with superbia, and added envy, in Latin, invidia.^[14][15] Gregory's list became the standard list of sins. Thomas Aquinas uses and defends Gregory's list in his Summa Theologica although he calls them the "capital sins" because they are the head and form of all the others.^[16] The Anglican Communion,^[17] Lutheran Church,^[18] and Methodist Church,^[19][20] among other Christian denominations, continue to retain this list. Moreover, modern day evangelists, such as Billy Graham have explicated the seven deadly sins.^[21]
