What is the greatest virtue?

Answer 1

Perhaps the greatest virtue is tolerance. With tolerance, it is hard to hate. With genuine tolerance, people would no longer fight and kill for their religious convictions. With tolerance, people of different backgrounds would allow love to flourish. Whether or not tolerance is the greatest virtue, it is certainly the hardest to attain. For example, it means giving up the certainty that one's religion is the only religion to be respected, or that one's ethnic group is in some way better than another. It means some must accept the right of others to support abortion, while others must accept the right of some to peacefully oppose abortion. It does not mean allowing others to commit crimes that are and should be condemned and outlawed by society generally.

Answer 3

St. Paul tells us that the greatest of the three theological virtues is charity (1 Cor 13:13). The other virtues serve the theological virtues since the theological virtues are supernaturally implanted in us by God to assist us in collaborating in our salvation. The highest natural virtue is prudence (by which we know the best way to attain the best thing), because it guides all the other virtues. The foundation of every virtue is fortitude (perseverance) because virtues are only virtues when we persist in exercising them even in spite of hardship.
