Sin is a deliberate thought, word, deed, or omission contrary to the eternal law of God.

In other words, sin is anything that hurts your relationship with God.

Sin is a personal act. Moreover, we have a responsibility for the sins committed by others when we cooperate in them:
- by participating directly and voluntarily in them;
- by ordering, advising, praising, or approving them;
- by not disclosing or not hindering them when we have an obligation to do so;
- by protecting evil-doers.

Thus sin makes people accomplices of one another and causes lust, violence, and injustice to reign among them. Sins give rise to social situations and institutions that are contrary to the divine goodness. "Structures of sin" are the expression and effect of personal sins. They lead their victims to do evil in their turn. In an analogous sense, they constitute a "social sin."

With love in Christ.

Envy:
Envy is a capital sin. It refers to the sadness at the sight of another's goods and the immoderate desire to acquire them for oneself, even unjustly. When it wishes grave harm to a neighbor it is a mortal sin

Malice:
Unintentional ignorance can diminish or even remove the imputability of a grave offense. But no one is deemed to be ignorant of the principles of the moral law, which are written in the conscience of every man. The promptings of feelings and passions can also diminish the voluntary and free character of the offense, as can external pressures or pathological disorders. Sin committed through malice, by deliberate choice of evil, is the gravest.

Murder:
The fifth commandment forbids direct and intentional killing as gravely sinful. The murderer and those who cooperate voluntarily in murder commit a sin that cries out to heaven for vengeance

Abortion
Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception.

Euthanasia
Those whose lives are diminished or weakened deserve special respect. Sick or handicapped persons should be helped to lead lives as normal as possible.

Suicide
Everyone is responsible for his life before God who has given it to him.

Sins against Love:
Faith in God's love encompasses the call and the obligation to respond with sincere love to divine charity

Anger, hatred:
By recalling the commandment, "You shall not kill,"our Lord asked for peace of heart and denounced murderous anger and hatred as immoral.

Blasphemy:
Blasphemy is directly opposed to the second commandment. It consists in uttering against God - inwardly or outwardly - words of hatred, reproach, or defiance; in speaking ill of God; in failing in respect toward him in one's speech; in misusing God's name

According to George Carlin, there are six ways, not nine:

“It was a sin to think about feeling up Mary. It was a sin to want to feel up Mary. It was a sin to plan to feel up Mary. It was a sin to take Mary somewhere to feel her up. It was a sin to convince Mary to let you feel her up, and it was a sin to actually feel her up. That’s six sins for one feel!”

I don't know the other three -- but I suspect that they involve what you do after you feel her up.
