Turns out, there are new sins courtesy of Pope Benedict XVI. D'oh!

Asked what he believed were today’s “new sins,” Pope Benedict XVI told the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano that the greatest danger zone for the modern soul is bioethics -- meaning, stem cell research is a big no no.

“ there are areas where we absolutely must denounce some violations of the fundamental rights of human nature through experiments and genetic manipulation whose outcome is difficult to predict and control,” he said.

Another new sin recently unveiled is the "ecological" sin. God is now keeping tabs on our recycling bins. Double d'oh!

We're also assuming this guy is riding the expressway to Hell?
