While the Bible only refers to specific acts by Biblical characters as "crying to Heaven for Vengeance", in Western Christianity, these references are expanded upon and treated as establishing a category of particularly serious sins. Along with the seven deadly sins and the eternal sins, the sins that cry to Heaven for Vengeance are the most serious transgressions against the Law of Christ.
“Behold, the wages you withheld from the workers who harvested your fields are crying aloud, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts” (James 5:4)

It makes more sense, since it gives all these sins a common thread of oppression of the weak, rather than three sins about oppression, and one sin about doing butt stuff.
It depends. The translation that was used by much of the west made sodium and gay relationships seem the cause but a closer I redo make it appear that it was murder and general shortness towards your fellow man.
Ironically one of the few that keep close to the original translation is the King James Bible. And that’s most likely because James was gay or bi
I tried that with a Christian employer who was refusing to pay my wages. His response? "Satan can quote the Bible to serve his purposes."
As if me, the worker who's getting screwed, is Satan. But it's an automatic response to anything.
Catholic social teaching says the state has a positive moral role to play as no society will achieve a just and equitable distribution of resources with a totally free market and also says that Catholics must fight for redistribution of wealth, preferential treatment for the poor, and universal healthcare.
But you’ll never hear any Catholic ever being that up
