          [Greed]/Avarice (Latin, cupiditia/avaritia) Greed is, like Lust and [Gluttony], a sin of excess. However, Greed particularly applies to the acquisition of wealth.
          Avarice is the term that can describe all forms of sinful behaviour. These include
          -disloyalty,
          -deliberate betrayal, or
          -treason, especially for personal gain, as when someone lets themselves be bribed.
          -Scavenging and [hoarding] of materials or objects,
          -theft and robbery, especially by violence,
          -trickery, or
          -manipulation of authority are all actions that are inspired by [greed]. Such misdeeds include [Simony], where the [sinner] feels the urge to make money by selling things within the confines of the church.
