Catholic World News : Monks may live longer

Monks may live longer than other men, according to a German study.The Benedictine publication Missionblatter has published the findings of a demographic survey by Marc Luy of Rostock, Germany, who analyzed the age of monks in different monasteries and found that on average, monks live 4 years longer than other men.

Of course, given that each year of monastic life feels like a decade, in “human” years monks live forty years longer!
