The Cardinal Virtues: How Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, and Temperance Shape the Christian Life

Описание: What does it really mean to live a good and happy life? In this episode of Practicing Catholic, hosts Taylor Kemp and Dr. Scott Hefelfinger explore the four cardinal virtues—prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance—and why they are essential for authentic Christian freedom.

The conversation unpacks how the virtues form our character, guide our decisions, and help us love God and neighbor more fully. Drawing from Scripture, philosophy, and Catholic tradition, the hosts explain how virtue is not about restriction, but about becoming the kind of person who can joyfully choose the good.

The episode also tackles practical and timely questions, including whether Catholics should have retirement accounts, how to live simply without fear or attachment, and how the living can help the souls in purgatory. This thoughtful discussion offers both spiritual depth and concrete guidance for everyday Catholic life.
