Why do we call them the Seven DEADLY Sins?

The Seven Deadly Sins—also known as the Capital Sins—aren’t necessarily mortal sins on their own (a common misconception), but rather root tendencies or base passions that give rise to other, more serious sins. They are called "deadly" or "capital" because they serve as the "head" (caput in Latin) or source from which many sins flow. Each represents a distorted human desire that, if left unchecked, can lead us further away from God and damage our relationships with others and ourselves.

For example, expressing uncontrolled anger on Twitter is bad, but it’s probably not a mortal sin. But anger, if left unchecked can lead to much worse sins - like murder - which is obviously mortal - separating us from God and requiring both natural justice and sacramental absolution.
