UPDATE: A slight change this week... (Main Forum)

Dear Sue,
If curiosity can kill a cat, it can also kill a Catholic.
St. Thomas Aquinas says that studiousness is the enthusiastic application of the mind in acquiring the right kind and the right amount of truth; curiosity is the enthusiastic application of the mind in acquiring indiscriminately any kind of truth in any amount. Studiousness is a virtue; curiosity is a vice.
