what are the original sins and there order? thanks for all help
Do you mean mortal sins?
I mean the original sins of catholisism. Like audultry and glutny and all that.
There is really only one Original Sin, although it is expressed in two ways: Being born/living (because all humans fail to live a perfect life). It also refers to the first sin (Eve’s with the apple), upon which the other definition, the inevitability of sin one, sprang.
I think you may mean the Seven Deadly Sins. I don’t know what they all are.

Do you mean the seven deadly sins? If so they are:
Pride
Greed
Envy
Lust
Wrath
Sloth
Gluttony
Pride is normally considered the first ‘Capital Sin’ but I have seen several groupings of which of the others are more or less important. Check the study notes on Dorothy Sayer’s translations of Dante’s Purgatory for a good treatment of the sins place in medieval thought.
The most common list of the “Seven Deadly Sins” includes pride, avarice, gluttony, lust, sloth, envy, and anger, but such lists have never really been “official”, just speculations or opinions of various theologians. See “Sin” (II. Division of Sin: The Capital Sins or Vices) from the 1917 Catholic Encyclopedia. According to that article, some theologians said there were eight deadly sins…but they don’t say what the eighth one was. Now I’m all curious.
Have a look around http://deadlysins.com for a veritable smorgasbord of answers.
I believe the sin of sloth was originally “melancholy.”
What I was taught were the seven Deadly Passions were Pride (the worst and the root of the rest), Avarice, Envy, Lust, Anger, Despair, and Gluttony. As long as one did not act upon these Passions or entertain them in the mind, one did not automatically sin upon being beset by them. However, if one did not wrestle against them but instead let them “set up housekeeping”, then the passions became sin.
Note that “Despair” is a bad translation of a Greek word that means something more on the order of “ill-thinking-ness”.
Right…they’re “Deadly sins” because they cause the commission of all sorts of sins.
MEBuckner, I’m trying to track down the “eighth deadly sin” for you. For Cyprian, it seems to be either increduilty (doubt, scepticism) or schism.
Evagerus Ponticus says that the eight deadly passions are gluttony, sexual excess, avarice, grief, wrath, weariness, vainglory, and pride.
But, of course, Cecil could tell you that 
Uh-oh. Well, I knew they were gonna get me somehow.
