BREAKING NEWS! MEN ARE DIFFERENT THAN WOMEN!

Drawing on data from what sins were confessed during the Roman Catholic sacrament of confession, Monsignor Wojciech Giertych, the personal theologian to Pope Benedict XVI, and Jesuit scholar Roberto Busa found that men and women sin in starkly different ways. Their work recently appeared in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano.

While the names of sinners and confessors were kept from the two researchers, each priest did categorize each sin confessed as one of the seven deadly sins - lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, anger (or wrath), envy, and pride. The researchers found that the most common sin for women is pride, followed by envy. After that the most dangerous sins for women were, in order, anger, lust, gluttony, avarice, and sloth.

For men the leading sins were lust and gluttony. After those, the most difficult sins for men to face, according to Monsignor Giertych, were sloth, anger, pride, envy and greed in that order.
