according to the Christian church in the Middle Ages, the seven most serious types of bad behaviour. The sins are pride (=thinking you are better than other people) , lechery (=too much desire for sex) , envy (=disliking someone because they have things that you want and do not have) , anger, covetousness (=wanting someone else's wealth or possessions) , gluttony (=eating too much) , and sloth (=laziness)
