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"?)

Also, "The Meek shall inherit the Earth." Hossenfeffer 09:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

- hurray thanks for the info... now what the hell is an expression (haha jk)

- Meekness refers to submission to the will of God (nothing to do with being small or helpless). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.110.232.181 (talk) 17:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)


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)
LOL, unsexy thoughts. Morhange 22:30, 12 March 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)

It looks like they are the same thing. I suggest merger. SpectrumDT 21:55, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

-- User:mephesto000

The Seven Virtues and the Seven Heavenly Virtues are the same thing. The article Seven Heavenly Virtues is simply a brief description of the same material covered more in depth within Seven Virtues

Agree, they're duplicate pages. 68.39.174.238 00:53, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
