In his interpretation of Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas replaced "rights" with "virtues". He believed every virtue, especially cardinal ones such as prudence, justice, temperance and fortitude were natural and could come about as a result of good, Christian living. However, the Theological virtues of faith, hope and charity were more metaphysical and are given only by God. .
