There is absolutely nothing here about manscaping.  I am disappointed.

I'm guessing pedophillia didn't make the list because the church still has some unresolved alter boy lawsuits issues on that front. Financial gluttony is now a sin? Imagine that. So how much do you think the Vatican Bank is worth? Just askin'...

Seriously though, I think they meant genetic alteration more in the realm of "allowing genetic manipulations which alter DNA or compromise embryos." Or at least that's what the bishop in charge is quoted as meaning. I had to look it up when I fiest saw the story this morning, because it is such an obvious, "Duh, and centuries of artificial selection and animal breeding has done what?"

And I think the wealth part has more to do with some people being obscenely wealthy while others are extremely poor. Not much different than the whole shoving a camel through the eye of a needle being easier than a rich man entering heaven.
