The Origin of the Concept of the Seven Cardinal Sins

Since the work of Zielinski and Gothein in the early years of this century, it has been clear that the medieval and modern Catholic teaching of the seven cardinal sins, sometimes called the deadly sins, had a Hellenistic astrological origin.

520 |a Since the work of Zielinski and Gothein in the early years of this century, it has been clear that the medieval and modern Catholic teaching of the seven cardinal sins, sometimes called the deadly sins, had a Hellenistic astrological origin.

The problem, however, is not so much to show the exact origin of the concept, as it is to refute certain misleading orthodox theories of origin.
