Seven deadly sins, also dubbed seven capital sins or seven cardinal sins, in Roman Catholic theology, are the seven vices that lead to other sins and further immoral conduct. First enumerated by Pope Gregory I (the Great) in the 6th century and detailed in the 13th century by St. Thomas Aquinas, they are
1) vainglory,or pride,
(2) greed, or covetousness,
(3) lust, or inordinate or illicit sexual desire,
(4) envy,
(5) gluttony, which is usually understood to include drunkenness,
(6) wrath, or anger, and
(7) sloth.
Each of these can be overcome with the seven corresponding virtues of
(1) humility,
(2) charity,
(3) chastity,
(4) gratitude,
(5) temperance,
(6) patience, and
(7) diligence.
