what the hell does meekness mean? exactly, Catholics are so unbelievable hypocritical--wrath is a deadly sin and punishable by spending a miserable existence in hell...meekness that is not. such a kind group of people
it means that you don't generally go out and act violent and don't try to get into fights (ever heard the expression "meek as a mouse"?)

- hurray thanks for the info... now what the hell is an expression (haha jk)
Should "Chastity" really mean courage? I'm no latin scholar, but I've always assumed it meant "asbtention from sexual intercourse; purity", especially since it's the opposite of lust. The opposite of lust isn't COURAGE, it's purity and thinking unsexy thoughts -Alecmconroy 04:35, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
- That's what I was thinking - and, in fact, the whole reason I came to the talk page. Is there any collaborating evidence or citations which suggest Chastity = courage? Or can we assume the original author wrote the wrong word down? Hossenfeffer 09:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Do the seven virtues have associated animals or colors like the seven deadly sins do?
[edit] Fixed the "selflessness" link
It previously pointed to a music album, and I couldn't find anything else but a redirect to altruism, so I pointed it at the redirect. The link was in the humility listing of the Virtues section.

[edit] Seven Virtues vs Seven Heavenly Virtues
What's the difference between the Seven Virtues and the Seven Heavenly Virtues? I thought they were the same thing? Unknown Dragon 00:14, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
