The Seven Deadly Sins in the Moral Decline of America
 |
| Accidia: Jheronimus Bosch |
Apathy: lack of interest or concern, especially regarding matters of general importance or appeal; indifference.
Do you ever ask yourself why folks are so apathetic about God these days? And why is it so hard to make a dent in this apathy? What spawned the apathy and indifference we face in America today?
The word apathy comes from the greek apatheia, "freedom from suffering" or "impassibility".
Interesting. Freedom from suffering and impassibility. (Keep this in mind.)
Some of its synonyms are spiritlessness and (this is a big one) acedia.
Okay, now we are getting somewhere.
Acedia is the "real" name of one of The Capital Sins. These days we call it sloth.
People today tend to think of sloth as a kind of "not-so-deadly sin". As if it were on the level of mere laziness or a bit of sluggishness.
Nothing could be further from the truth.

Imagine
The time for merit is over when we die. We know that God is a God of great Mercy. What we often forget is that God is a God of Justice, too. Justice must be met by each of us in our judgment. One of the gifts of God’s Mercy, in the expiation of our sins, is Purgatory. Purgatory is a place of final cleansing for our souls, so that one day, when we have paid our debt to our merciful and loving God, we will meet Him face to face, never again fearing Hell, but knowing that we are safe and in Paradise. satan is no longer a threat to our immortal souls. We rejoice!
