7 heavenly virtues I

I can't find a II so I think that Heavenly Virtues III is a typo, it should read II.

SC, correct me if i'm wrong. ty

Grrr... The whole Catholic-themed challenges are annoying. In Christianity or other religions even, there aren't "seven deadly sins" or "seven heavenly virtues". :(

Not the truth, only your version of it.

So if we're supposed to find "heavenly" virtues, we should be looking for virtues as described in the bible, and not necessarily what modern society considers virtuous?

I don't think they are defined in the Bible, though passages supporting the values can be found. FYI, here's what I got from a couple of Google searches:

The Seven Heavenly Virtues:
Faith, Hope, Charity, Fortitude, Justice, Temperance, Prudence

The Seven Virtues:
Chastity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Patience, Kindness, Humility

The Seven Contrary Virtues (specific opposites to the Seven Deadly Sins):
Humility against pride, Kindness against envy, Abstinence against gluttony, Chastity against lust, Patience against anger, Liberality against greed, and Diligence against sloth.

The Seven Holy Virtues:
Valour, Generosity, Liberality, Diligence, Patience, Kindness, Humility

The Seven Corporal Works of Mercy (a medieval list of things you can do to help others):
Feed the hungry, Give drink to the thirsty, Give shelter to strangers, Clothe the naked, Visit the sick, Minister to prisoners, and Bury the dead.

You forgot the 7 DPC virtues: High votes, helpful comments, considerate posts, newbie patience, honest editing, thoughtful entries... and a large helping of humility after rollover. ;-)

Why all of the questions? The challenge description lays them all out for you.

Challenge Description: "Faith, Hope, Charity, Fortitude, Justice, Temperance, Prudence. Represent one or more in a photograph."

Correct, these are not Godly, Biblical "lists", but ones created and categorized by man.

as long as it is one click of the shutter, you can do whatever you want. :)
Also you can't add a border down the middle of an image to make a single image a diptych.
Hope that helps.
