This news is a few days old since I sat on it hoping that Zenit would publish the news, as I try to get Catholic-based versions of news like this instead of secular wire stories, but they have not published anything on it. The head of the Apostolic Penitentiary listed various "new" sins in an interview in L'Osservatore Romano, such as genetic manipulations and other experiments. He mentioned as well drugs, pollution, and the gap between the rich and the poor, though I think these things have already been cited as sins.
Naturally I found several errors in the wire story, such as attributing it to "the Vatican" when it was merely a Vatican official cited in an interview.
