Glory to Jesus Christ. I'm Mother Natalia, a Byzantine Catholic nun from Christ to the

bridegroom monastery and this is Pines with Aquinas. I'm going to start

something of a series which I'm really really excited about spanning over the next I don't know we'll

see how long it takes maybe three weeks four weeks something like that so most of you who are listening have probably heard of

the Seven Deadly Sins, but I think a lot fewer of you have heard of the 8 evil thoughts, which is super sad because the 8 evil

thoughts are where the 7 deadly sins originate. So to give kind of an intro to the eight evil thoughts, I usually oversimplify this, I think, not I think, I know I usually oversimplify this.

So I asked a friend of mine

if he could kind of confirm the explanation

that I usually give, and he sent me this chart,

which is amazing.

So I'm gonna share this chart with y'all verbally and break it down.

So the chart is mostly from a book called Glittering Vices by Rebecca Conindicta Young, maybe. I probably butchered that name.

And but there's some adaptation, some slight adaptation to it by Professor Turner Nevin from the University of

San Diego. Hopefully I didn't butcher that name. So Avagrius who I've talked

about before on this podcast because you all know that he's he and Maximus the

Confessor are kind of like my main desert fathers church fathers that I really love. So anyways, Evagrius, so he's like fourth century and he lists, he lists, he lists mostly eight evil thoughts, but then he lists them kind of in

different orders and only sometimes does he include jealousy.

So jealousy is added in sometimes as a ninth of the eight evil thoughts.

So the other eight other than jealousy are gluttony, lust, avarice, sadness, anger, wrath, Acadia, slash sloth,

vain glory and pride.

Kachen, fourth, fifth century,

is he was a disciple of Agrias.
