- - - - Order, which is Reason, brings ordering of Love and expression in Cardinal Virtues
      - The Moral Challenge? Locate self and actions reasonably, and in one's proper place in the divine order of all things
  - - - To Observe the Natural Law: Know and Freely Accept of my Nature as created and destined by God
      - Do good, avoid evil!
      - AQ emphasizes circumstances and contingency of conclusions (which most neglect or ignore)
      - NL - A Universal Norm of Morality
- - - - AQ develops this: Only Supernatural Moral Activity (Virtue) as Necessary for Salvation
  - - - Selective Working of God's Grace, Man can only Delight in Evil (Rigorism)

        So, Revelation is indispensable for AQ (but not absolute for knowing God, ML)
        
        Problematic for Magisterium
        
        Human Moral Thinking, w/o Rev, not always at best
