Women are prouder than men, but men are more lustful, according to a Vatican report which states that the two sexes sin differently.<\/p>\n
A Catholic survey found that the most common sin for women was pride, while for men, the urge for food was only surpassed by the urge for sex.<\/p>\n
The report was based on a study of confessions carried out by Fr. Roberto Busa, a 95-year-old Jesuit scholar.<\/p>\n
The Pope’s personal theologian backed up the report in the Vatican newspaper.<\/p>\n
“Men and women sin in different ways,” Msgr Wojciech Giertych, theologian to the papal household, wrote in L’Osservatore Romano.<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n
Msgr Giertych said the most difficult sin for men to face was lust, followed by gluttony, sloth, anger, pride, envy and greed.<\/p>\n
For women, the most dangerous sins were pride, envy, anger, lust, and sloth, he added. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
