Q. 121: What are the three theological virtues?
A. The three theological virtues are faith, hope, and charity.
CHARITY: Love, the theological virtue which enables us to love God above all things and to love our neighbor for the love of God.
(New Baltimore Catechism)
“In order altogether to remove from the patrimony of St. Peter the defilement of heretics, we decree, as a perpetual law, that whatsoever heretic, especially if he be a Patarene, shall be found therein shall immediately be taken and delivered to the secular court to be punished according to law. All his goods also shall be sold, so that he who took him shall receive one part, another shall go the court that convicted him, and the third shall be applied to the building of prisons in the country wherein he was taken. The house, however, in which a heretic had been received shall be altogether destroyed; nor shall anyone presume to build it: but let that which was a den of iniquity become a receptacle of filth. Moreover, their believers, defenders, and favorers shall be fined one fourth part of their goods which shall be applied to the service of the public.â€Â
(Bull of Innocent 3rd, A. D. 1207)
“The podesta or ruler is hereby ordered to force all captured heretics to confess and accuse their accomplices by torture which will not imperil life or limb, just as thieves and robbers are forced to accuse their accomplices, and to confess their true crimes; for these heretics are true thieves, murderers of souls, and robbers of the sacraments of God.†(Ad Extirpanda, Bull of Innocent 4th, A. D. 1252)
“In the name of God Almighty, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, and by the authority of the blessed Apostles, Peter and Paul, and by our own, we excommunicate and anathematize all Hussites, Wickliffites, Lutherans, Zwinglians, Calvinists, Huguenots, Anabaptists, Trinitarians, and other apostates from the faith; and all other heretics….And also their adherents, receivers, favorers, and generally any defenders of them…..†(Papal Bull, IN COENA DOMINI)
