AND ACCORDING TO THE CONDITIONS HABITUALLY FOUND AMONG MEN;
AND OF THE THEOLOGICAL VIRTUES
What virtues are of the greatest import?
The theological virtues.
Why are these of the greatest import?
Because they are those whereby man attains his final end as far as he can and ought to attain it in this life so as to merit the possession of his final end in heaven.
It is then impossible for man to perform any supernaturally good act without the theological virtues?
Yes, it is quite impossible.
What are the theological virtues?
The theological virtues are faith, hope, and charity.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
