New Sins…?

Did you know that we have new sins? Apparently, we really haven’t thought of everything…
Bishop Gianfranco Girotti, head of the Apostolic Penitentiary, has announced the NEW, so called, “7 deadly sins” and had this to say about them…
He said that priests must take account of “new sins which have appeared on the horizon of humanity as a corollary of the unstoppable process of globalisation”. Whereas sin in the past was thought of as being an individual matter, it now had “social resonance”.
“You offend God not only by stealing, blaspheming or coveting your neighbor’s wife, but also by ruining the environment, carrying out morally debatable scientific experiments, or allowing genetic manipulations which alter DNA or compromise embryos,” he said.
I guess they’re on the same page with the Southern Baptist Environment & Climate Initiative…I probably should turn off my computer… 
But, seriously have we really figured out a new way to sin?
Is God not convicting us in the same manner that He did in the beginning?
I mean, he gave us the Ten Commandments as a guide. Is that not enough anymore? And, what about His Spirit? Where is He in our lives? Shouldn’t we be entrusting our personal convictions to Him and the Word?
Apparently our sins have gone from a personal matter to “now” a social matter…
Any thoughts?
Thank you Jesus for dying for my sins…ALL of them…the OLD ones and the NEW ones…
