This article reads very much from a Catholic point of view. It may be that this term is used only in Catholicism, and that no similar term exists in any other culture. It may also be that the information here presented is entirely accurate within the context of Roman Catholicism. However, all else aside, it appears that this article is almost a word-for-word port from the Catholic Encyclopaedia; and while it may well serve the purpose of informing the reader about 'heroic virtue, the context in which it has been written may favour those who share that viewpoint. - Shrivenzale 06:45, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

This article is very, very biased. While the term may be a purely catholic one, it reports catholic beliefs as fact. I'm not an expert on Wikipedia, but I am pretty sure that most of this breaks several rules. I am going to take a bold step, and slap everything that reads very much like a quote in quote marks. I know nothing about the subject, but I do know that I am extremely unhappy about people's beliefs being presented as fact. It is a fact that these beliefs are held. The beliefs themself are not facts. As it stands, there are a lot of things said which would normally require reliable references. I would not count the bible as a reliable reference to fact (extremely biased for one thing). 163.1.99.133 (talk) 02:00, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
