seven deadly sins
(redirected from Cardinal vice)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

seven deadly sins

In Christian theology, anger, avarice, envy, gluttony, lust, pride, and sloth (or dejection). These vices are considered fundamental to all other sins.

Evagrius Ponticus (AD c. 346–399), a deacon of Constantinople, maintained in his treatise On the Eight Evil Thoughts that the root or principal sins were: gluttony; fornication; avarice; dejection, or lack of pleasure; anger; weariness, or accidie; vainglory; and pride. The monk John Cassian (c. 360–435) followed Evagrius. Pope Gregory the Great was the first, around AD 600, to formulate the seven deadly sins more or less as we know them today.
