Sloth is a deep spiritual apathy, an aversion to divine good, that goes beyond mere laziness, involving a sadness or weariness with spiritual effort, neglecting God, and refusing the joy of faith, manifesting as spiritual indifference, despair, or even frantic worldly busyness to avoid spiritual duties. The sin of sloth undermines love for God and neighbor, leading to a neglect of spiritual growth and duties.
