.

from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 19941866 Vices can be classified according to the virtues they oppose, or also be linked to the capital sins which Christian experience has distinguished, following St. John Cassian and St. Gregory the Great. They are called "capital" because they engender other sins, other vices. (Cf. St. Gregory the Great, Moralia in Job, 31, 45: J.P. Migne, ed., Patrologia Latina {Paris: 1841-1855} 76, 621A). They are pride, avarice, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth or acedia.

Is the 7 deadly sins made up by god or by cathloic?

Roman Catholic AnswerThe seven deadly sins, as we now have them, were drawn up by catechists in the early church (before the seventh century) to help people sort them out. The sins themselves are in opposition to the seven virtues, which are from God. God did not, and being All-Good, could not have made up the seven deadly sins.
