Hell

Even if there weren't so many terribly misbehaving children who haven't been taught to shut up for one hour, I wouldn't have been able to hear the preacher's low-volume microphone anyway.

Recently the Catholic Church in Rome has added seven new sins to the list after fifteen hundred years of making due with the original and very reasonable standbys. The original offences and their punishments are as follows:
