The four sins that cry to Heaven for Vengeance (or sins that cry to Heaven) (Latin: peccata clamantia) are a list of mortal sins in Catholic moral theology that Catholics believe demand justice from God:

The expression is derived from Genesis 4:10 ("The Lord said to Cain ... the voice of thy brother's blood crieth to me from the earth").

  • The "blood of Abel": homicide, infanticide, fratricide, parricide, and matricide
  • The "sin of the Sodomites": sodomy, pride, gluttony, negligence of the poor, and the abuse of children.
  • The "cry of the people oppressed in Egypt, the cry of the foreigner, the widow, and the orphan": slavery and marginalization
  • The "injustice to the wage earner": taking advantage of and defrauding workers
