Love these lists, Salvation. (Even though some make me grimace with guilt....)
It’s an awesome website. And has an awesome forum, too.
I didn’t know they had a forum!
O.K. well some enlightenment need be shared here. Some “Christians” think temperance means abstaining from the consumption of all alcohol. Not so when it comes to Beer and Wine. Wine is sacramental and Beer is one of the major food groups. Jesus drank wine; he would have had beer but there wasn’t any available. Beer is food and is good for you when consumed in moderation. It’s even better for you if it’s Guinness.
Just a clarification.
The virtue that moderates the desire for pleasure. In the widest sense, temperance regulates every form of enjoyment that comes from the exercise of a human power or faculty, e.g., purely spiritual joy arising from intleectual activity or even the consolations experienced in prayer and emotional pleasure produced by such things as pleasant musci or the sight of a beautiful scene. In the strict sense, however, temperance is the correlative of fortitude. As fortitude controls rashness and fear in the face of the major pains that threaten to unbalance human nature, so temperance controls desire for major pleasure. Since pleasure follows from all natural activity, it is most intense when associated with our most natural activities. On the level of sense feeling, they are the pleasures that serve individual person through food and drink, and the human race through carnal intercourse. Temperance mainly refers to these appetites. (Etym. Latin temperare, to apportion, regulate, qualify.)
