Mighty Vices

About

Mighty Vices takes its name from a concept rooted in Christian theological tradition. The seven deadly sins, also known as capital vices or cardinal sins, function as a grouping of major vices within Christianity's teachings. Though not explicitly listed in the Bible, these concepts developed within early Christian theological tradition, drawing on various biblical passages. According to the Catholic Church, the seven deadly sins are pride, envy, wrath, gluttony, lust, sloth, and greed. The classification of deadly sins into this group of seven originated with Tertullian and continued with Evagrius Ponticus, with concepts partly based on Greco-Roman and Biblical antecedents. Throughout history, the concept of seven deadly sins has significantly influenced religious and philosophical thought, fine art painting, and modern popular media including literature, film, and television, making it a rich cultural reference that continues to resonate in contemporary creative works.
