Meaning of capital sins :

 

The Church had different ways to educate its members about the evils of sins. One way was to list a group of common, serious sins called the “capital” (from the word that means head or chief sins) or “deadly” sins. The number in such a list varied over time but the traditional number became seven capital sins (seven representing the idea of fullness or completion): pride, avarice (greed), envy, anger, lust, gluttony, sloth (also called acedia or laziness).
