MORAL COMPASSES

Letter writer Gerald R. Hall ought to reconsider what he bases his moral
standards on because they do not measure up to the four cardinal virtues of
St. Thomas Aquinas. Prudence, temperance, justice and fortitude are those
virtues and drug and marriage prohibitions fails every one of those virtues.

In fact, using the coercive force of the state to punish people who do not
live up to Hall's "morals" can be found on the same moral compass used to
guide the Christian Crusaders and the Spanish Inquisition.

I fail to see how Canadians are becoming "intolerant" of traditional
religious and moral values that are still the norm and are still serving
and will continue to serve generations to come.

No one is punishing him; we are just not allowing him to punish others any
longer.

Envy, covetousness, lust, gluttony and sloth round out the Seven Deadly Sins.

I hope that resets Hall's moral compass because, as with the crusaders
before him, he was paving the road to hell with good intentions.
