At the top of page 5 of this pdf, is this quote:
"Michael
S. Sherwin helpfully illustrates the idea with the case of Matthew Talbot, an Irish laborer and alcoholic who underwent a
conversion, gave up drink, and dedicated his life to prayer and service of the
poor. While he “radically reoriented his
life towards God,” it remained true that “he still retained,
especially in the beginning, a strong desire (and
inclination) to continue drinking and to return to his
former way of life.” In Aquinas’s
viewpoint, Sherwin suggests, Talbot has the infused virtue
of temperance but finds it difficult to act temperately.
At the top of page 6,
“In the case of Matt Talbot, Sherwin suggests, “At the moment of
his conversion, the infused virtues
empowered him to live soberly, even as he continued to feel a burning
desire to drink.”
At the bottom of page 6, the author states: “In the case of
Matt Talbot, it is more plausible to say not that he
possesses infused temperance yet still experiences the inclination to sin but rather that he possesses
continence or self-control.”
