I think greed might have more connotations with how one acquires wealth and resources while gluttony implies a kind of excess around the wealth one does have.
Both are impious, but gluttony is more passive and inconsiderate while greed is more aggressive and exploitative.
A greedy person would find ways to get more money while a gluttonous person would just not care that they have more than they need.
It’s easier to be greedy than gluttonous.
Kinda like sloth, they both reflect a leisure that is uncommon for the time of Pope Gregory.
I think sloth supposedly had elements of losing hope in a “I have depression” kind of way. It wasn’t just about being “lazy”, it was also about your views and mindset (and mental health, probably).
That’s a good point. When I was referring to a leisure, I was speaking more on the messaging implied than my own personal views. They did lump in depression, grief, and exhaustion together when things were obviously more complex.
