Abstract: Starting from the observations on the advancement of modernity and the parallel regression of the authority and signification of the Christian moral values, we believe that an attempt to interpret the recent senses of the tensions between the temptation of sins and the imperative of the moral values is necessary. Therefore, our study aims to evaluate the impact of sins on the capacity and disposition of the modern man for acknowledging the values of the Christian integrity, trying to concentrate mostly on interrogations as “why†and “how†we face a distancing from the values of the moral verticality and their substitution with the human horizontality. In other words, we will discuss the theological content of the causes and predictable results of the indissoluble contradiction between the human general propension for sin and the desiderate of the moral integrity.
