It is our duty and our salvation. Some people have spiritual disabilities for lack of a better word. Those who stumble at the word Catholic/catholic may do better if they use the word Christian, although they must needs love their Catholic brethren. Love covers a multitude of sins.Yes, all true.
Those "spiritual disabilities" are sin, plain and simple, wouldn't you say?
The Catholic Church coined the "seven deadly sins" a long time ago...not that they weren't known then. All humans "suffer" from them. The first and most deadly of them is pride (arrogance). It leads us into the other six.
It seems almost impossible to love God or love each other when we are leading our lives through the blinders of pride.
There are also a number of other sets of virtues, including: The Seven Contrary Virtues which 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.

Self-help techniques which can be attempted by the religious person but not necessarily successfully nor through faith in Lord Jesus Christ alone.
