There is a marked discrepancy between Aristotle's list of virtues and vices and the Catholic list of cardinal virtues and sins.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aristotle's list of virtues and vices, as outlined in his Nicomachean Ethics, is primarily focused on moral and intellectual virtues that lead to eudaimonia (flourishing or happiness), and does not directly correspond to the Catholic Church's list of seven cardinal virtues (prudence, justice, temperance, courage, faith, hope, and charity) and seven deadly sins (lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride). The Catholic lists are theological and moral in nature, derived from Christian doctrine, and include both theological virtues (faith, hope, charity) and cardinal virtues, which are not explicitly found in Aristotle's works.
