THE PHILIPPINES: Does Cardinal Sin sin?

Siegfried Ramler lisps: "Your item about Cardinal Sin reminds me of this entirely unrelated story:

A rural parish priest needed a new coat on the exterior of his church and gave a handyman some money to buy the paint and do the job. The man bought only half of the needed paint, diluted the can with water, and pocketed the rest of the money. The priest noticed the inferior work, suspected a scam, and said to the man: REPAINT YOU THINNER!"
