The Four Sins That Cry Out to Heaven | The Catholic Man Show

Lady Pamela's birthday was the day before they recorded, and Adam wanted a full report. Did she have a good day? Dave was pretty sure she did. She got a nap. Did he actually ask her? He did, he says, and her brother, a priest, drove in for the family get-together, so we'll take his word for it. Happy birthday, Lady Pamela.

Ten years in, that's officially a new segment. They toasted it with a Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottling of 16-year-old Caol Ila, all Islay peat and smoke at 112 proof. A sipper, not an everyday bottle.

Adam brought the main topic. The Catechism recalls the "sins that cry to heaven" in paragraph 1867, and the old catechisms count four. Wherever Scripture names one, you hear the same Latin root as Psalm 130's De profundis clamavi: a cry.
