About the Church…
Lessons from the Baltimore Catechism...
130. Are there any other virtues besides the
theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity?
Besides the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity
there are other virtues, called moral virtues.
131. Why are these virtues called moral virtues?
These virtues are called moral virtues because they
dispose us to lead moral, or good lives, by aiding us to
treat persons and things in the right way, that is,
according to the will of God.
132. Which are the chief moral virtues?
The chief moral virtues are: prudence, justice, fortitude,
and temperance; these are called cardinal virtues. And if a
man love justice, her labors have great virtues. For she
teacheth temperance and prudence and justice and
fortitude, which are such things as men can have nothing
more profitable in life. (Wisdom 8:7)
133. Why are these virtues called cardinal virtues?
These virtues are called cardinal virtues because they are
like hinges on which hang all the other moral virtues and
our whole moral life. The word "cardinal" is derived from
the Latin word "cardo" meaning hinge.
134. How do prudence, justice, fortitude and
temperance dispose us to lead good lives?
Prudence disposes us in all circumstances to form right
judgments about what we must do or not do. Justice
disposes us to give everyone what belongs to him.
Fortitude disposes us to do what is good in spite of any
difficulty. Temperance disposes us to control our desires
and to use rightly the things which please ourselves. He
that followeth justice and mercy shall find life, justice,
and glory. (Proverbs 21:21)
135. Which are some of the other moral virtues?
Some of the other moral virtues are:
 Filial piety and patriotism, which dispose us to honor,
love, and respect our parents and our country.
 Obedience, which disposes us to do the will of our
superiors.
 Veracity, which disposes us to tell the truth.
 Liberality, which disposes us rightly to use worldly
goods.
 Patience, which disposes us to bear up under trials
and difficulties.
 Humility, which disposes us to acknowledge our
limitations.
 Chastity, or purity, which disposes us to be pure in
soul and body.
Besides these, there are many other moral virtues.
