Whether charity is one virtue?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that charity is not one virtue. For habits are distinct according to their objects. Now there are two objects of charity---God and our neighbor---which are infinitely distant from one another. Therefore charity is not one virtue.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, different aspects of the object diversify a habit, even though that object be one in reality, as shown above (Question [17], Article [6]; FS, Question [54], Article [2], ad 1). Now there are many aspects under which God is an object of love, because we are debtors to His love by reason of each one of His favors. Therefore charity is not one virtue.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, charity comprises friendship for our neighbor. But the Philosopher reckons several species of friendship (Ethic. viii, 3,11,12). Therefore charity is not one virtue, but is divided into a number of various species.
