I have been looking everywhere to find the information that states exactly what are the seven virtues that oppose the seven capital sins. I have looked in Fr. Ott’s Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma, the Catholic Encyclopedia (1912) and other books about moral theology and cannot find any listing. Can you help?

Thanks.
Fr. Paul Hartley
 
Dear Father,

Here they are: The seven virtues that are specific opposites to the Seven Deadly Sins: Humility against pride, Kindness against envy, Abstinence against gluttony, Chastity against lust, Patience against anger, Liberality against greed, and Diligence against sloth.

(I Googled them,)

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
