Masculine and Feminine Sins.

Hardly any priest, hardly any ply
sician, would agree that women are
better morally than men. There are
some kinds of sin which men commit
more readily than women. Such are

covetousness And of the sins of
pride and envy, one might call them
eminently feminine sins.-Bernard
