There are 4 Cardinal and 3 Theological Virtues that are key. &amp;nbsp; The 4 Cardinal Virtues are Prudence, Justice, Temperance, and Fortitude. Cardinal means “hinge” like on a door and all virtues swing on the hinge of these four. We cultivate them through the development of intentional habits. &amp;nbsp; The 3 Theological Virtues are Faith, Hope, and Charity. These are infused in our lives by God. &amp;nbsp; St. Thomas Aquinas brought them together and the wide swath of the Second Part of the Summa Theologia focuses on them. This episode walks through all of that! &amp;nbsp; If you have questions, comments, or suggestions for future episodes, please let us know at: MSBickford@AllRoadsLeadToRome.net &amp;nbsp; Please follow, subscribe, and leave a review!
