The musings and meandering thoughts of a crotchety old man as he observes life in the world and in a small, rural town in South East Nebraska. I hope to help people get to Heaven by sharing prayers, meditations, the lives of the Saints, and news of Church happenings. My Pledge: Nulla dies sine linea ~ Not a day without a line.

(B)
Are all these virtues, theological and cardinal, necessary in order that man may live well? Yes, all these virtues are necessary that man may live well (LXV. 1-5). And suppose man is lacking in any one of these virtues, could he not be called virtuous? No; for if man is found wanting in any one of these virtues, whatsoever other virtues he may have they would never, in him, possess the true character or nature of perfect virtue (LXV. 4).

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks!
