The patriarchal Universal Church has declared the 7 mortal sins to be deadly and their opposing energy to be a virtue.
These Seven Religious Virtues are:
- Humility – known as Modesty – is an over attachment to someone else’s beliefs and the state of being proud of not being proud.
- Kindness – known as Generosity to one’s own kind, kith or kin – is giving to our nearest and dearest that which they envy.
- Abstinence – known as Poverty – is the toleration of self-induced scarcity by virtue of existing with very little of anything in order to show the gluttony of others.
- Love – known as Caring – is the emotional need and conditional love that sustains a co-dependent relationship between people who need each other and are therefore attached to each other emotionally.
- Pleasing – known as Humbleness – is the unselfishness of letting greedy people have their own way by adopting a subservient attitude.
- Meekness – known as Patience – is deferring to the superior authority of another by tolerating the wrath of their direction.
- Diligence – known as hard work and doing one’s duty – combines the duty of having to work hard with the hard work of doing one’s duty and not being idle or lazy.
These may be considered by the Church Authorities to be religious virtues but they are in no way Divine attributes that are an attainment of one’s Soul.
