Lesson Nine of Aquinas 101: The Virtues, with Fr Aquinas Guilbeau, OP, MDiv, STL, STD, Assistant Professor of Moral Theology, Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception, and Prior of the Priory of the Immaculate Conception.
At first glance, it might appear that the moral virtues are not connected to each other.
St. Thomas Aquinas holds that as the moral virtues progress toward their perfect expression, they rise and fall together. At the same time, he accounts for what we all experience in the moral life: our exercise of the virtues can often remain uneven.

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.
