I dreamed of the future. The Catholic church had grown in power and had taken control of most of the world's governments. The Pope was still based in Italy, but a Cardinal was put in charge of each country. The practice of other religious was now not only outlawed, but considered treason.
A new technology had been invented. It was a device that was worn on the wrist and kept a record of the sins of the person wearing it. The government had full access to the Sin Record of any citizen.
Then the Papal Patriot Act was passed, which made Sin Record access available to the public. This information was brought up at job interviews, or whenever anyone ran for office.
It was also used for the purpose of Eugenics. The Vatican believed that the propensity for sin was genetic, and enforced marriages between people with relatively short sin records, while enforcing mandatory sterilization for those with long sin records. . They hoped that they could eventually breed sin out of the human race.
