Catholic Church updates list of sins??

In a story I found on AOL today the Catholic Church has updated their list of sins. According to Monsignor Gianfranco Girotti the three additional sins are;

1. Violations of human nature through genetic manipulation.
2. Drugs that weaken the mind and cloud intelligence.
3. The imbalance between the rich and poor.

I can only guess that if you don't tithe enough to the Church, so they can give to the poor, you are violating sin #3.

When the monsignor was asked about child abuse allegations against the clergy, the monsignor acknowledged the "objective gravity" of the allegations, but contended that the heavy coverage by mass media of the scandals must also be denounced because it "discredits the church."

Huh?? So... the fact that the abuse occurred hasn't discredited the Church, but the media attention has???
