Which is an example of a theological virtue?

• A. Faith
• B. Prudence
• C. Justice
• D. Temperance

Answer: (A)

The main concept here is the distinction between theological virtues and cardinal virtues, and identifying which option is a theological virtue. Theological virtues are gifts from God that orient us toward God Himself and enable us to live in relationship with Him. They are infused into the soul and cannot be fully attained by human effort alone; they require grace.

Faith is the theological virtue that fits this category. It is the virtue of belief in God and in all that He has revealed, including trust in His promises. It anchors our whole spiritual life, guiding how we understand truth and how we relate to God.

The other options are cardinal virtues—prudence, justice, and temperance. They are important for right living and moral reasoning, and they can be cultivated by habit and reason, but they do not orient our lives toward God in the infused, grace-dependent way that theological virtues do.
