"Men and women sin in different ways," says the Pope's personal theologian.

Oh, you mean like the way we love too much?

Just kidding. Let's read the article:

"When you look at vices from the point of view of the difficulties they create you find that men experiment in a different way from women."

Experiment? Is that what we're doing when we go wrong, experimenting?

[Msgr Wojciech Giertych, theologian to the papal household, wrote in L'Osservatore Romano that] the most difficult sin for men to face was lust, followed by gluttony, sloth, anger, pride, envy and greed.

For women, the most dangerous sins were pride, envy, anger, lust, and sloth, he added.

So the men struggle with all 7 sins, but somehow the women are not susceptible to ? what? ? gluttony and greed? My reaction to that? Well, first... it's time for a midmorning snack. Or 2!
