Four Cardinal Virtues according to Thomas Aquinas
The Four ‘Cardinal Virtues’: why would a catholic biologist mention them on his website? Well, for a very simple reason/ Humans beings are both biological as moral beings. Unlike even higher animals, we can reflect on our conduct in life, accept responsibility for what we do (or not), make decisions about our behaviour more or less freely, develop attitudes and habits, for which we are accountable (who else?) and that have an impact on our physical, psychological, spiritual life as well as the lives of others. So talking about virtues, our behaviour habits, so to speak, is very meaningful as far as human beings is concerned. And a catholic biologist can’t ignore humans, their beliefs and their behaviour, in his reflections ons the relationship between biology and faith. So here, we will give the digital floor to Dr. Taylor Marshall who explains the Catholic teaching on virtue, virtue ethics, and introduces prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance. A 5 part podcast series on how understanding the classical teaching on virtue, brought to you by the New Saint Thomas Institute.

Sexuality and Gender – Findings from the Biological, Psychological, and Social Sciences
Questions related to sexuality and gender bear on some of the most intimate and personal aspects of human life. In recent years they have also vexed American politics. The New Atlantis offers this report — written by Dr. Lawrence S. Mayer, an epidemiologist trained in psychiatry, and Dr. Paul R. McHugh, arguably the most important American psychiatrist of the last half-century — in the hope of improving public understanding of these questions. Examining research from the biological, psychological, and social sciences, this report shows that some of the most frequently heard claims about sexuality and gender are not supported by scientific evidence. The report has a special focus on the higher rates of mental health problems among LGBT populations, and it questions the scientific basis of trends in the treatment of children who do not identify with their biological sex. More effort is called for to provide these people with the understanding, care, and support they need to lead healthy, flourishing lives.
