Wrath is a strong feeling of hatred or resentment with a desire for vengeance. It is one of the seven deadly sins in Roman Catholic theology. Wrath is different from anger that is balanced with reason, which is not a sin. Christian teaching also differentiates between God’s wrath and human wrath, in that the wrath of God is regarded as a manifestation of divine righteousness and justice. Wrath is believed to generate other sins and further immoral behavior. The heavenly virtue that counters wrath is patience. In contemporary usage, wrath distinguishes itself from anger in its intensity. Anger at a real or perceived wrong can be understandable but wrath connotes a disproportional and uncontrolled response and loss of rationality and temperance.
