Are you Catholic? I doubt it. Otherwise you wouldn’t have bothered to edit to add that. ---

You are the one who said those virtues were incompatible with evil. You derailed your own argument. Either admit you are wrong, or defend your argument. ---

Either admit you are wrong, or defend your argument. How about this? I disagree with your premise that I worship the same god as Muslim terrorists. Therefore, I have nothing to defend. Good day. ---

It is [not my premise:](http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decl_19651028_nostra-aetate_en.html) [QUOTE=Pope Paul VI] “The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth,(5) who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in linking itself, submitted to God.” [/QUOTE] This was [affirmed by Benedict XVI in 2005](http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/speeches/2005/august/documents/hf_ben-xvi_spe_20050820_meeting-muslims_en.html). So the Pope is not infallible, is that what you are saying? ---

Yes, I agree the Pope aka Bishop of Rome is not infallible. That is in no way inconsistent with holding to a strict definition of what virtues are. Open a new thread if you want to pursue this further. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-the-best-way-to-prevent-home-invasions/484754.md?page=5)
