Wow! So the difference between the virtue driven Catholic and the virtue driven Muslim is what? They are both headed in the same direction, no?

How about having a GOSPEL centered life instead. Virtuousness can be practiced by the infidel, and leads to the same place where they are going, without Christ. Only the Gospel leads one to Jesus, and He is the only hope of salvation. (But I am sure that is taught by the Catholic Church, right?)

I think you will find all the virtues in the Gospels. I have no problems with them.

You have got to be kidding that Christ did not talk about these subjects:

Faith, hope, charity (love)

prudence, justice, temperance and fortitude

Perhaps you won’t find those exact words, but Christ talks about them.

Check the Sermon of the Mount for some of them.
