I really appreciate this point of view, presuming I've not understood it incorrectly (which is entirely possible). I believe that in certain sense the correspondence theory of truth is, while true, misleading if it is ever communicated without emphasizing the need for virtue. Reading or stating a proposition is not sufficient to understand it. Why? Well, we often fail to take into account the very existential nature of truth or idea in consciousness. What does it mean to really appropriate a picture of reality into our mind? Imagine the Grand Canyon for example, or even your left hand. Given the absolute *otherness* of the conscious qualia which the intellect delivers, shouldn't it in a real sense utterly consume our consciousness? What parts of the "non-being-oriented" aspects of our consciousness need to give way in order that we properly understand an idea? And what habits of mind, and consequently soul and body, are necessary that we are properly dispensed to understand and interact with reality?
Virtue is indispensable for responding to the truth, and arguably on the most practical level possible. If you're beset with addictions (let's just say smart phone usage, pornography, arrogance, etc.) and are allowing compulsion to compel the general direction of your mind (something which striving to be virtuous would act against), then it would seem quite improbable that you'd have the necessary strength to begin changing your behaviour and even way of thinking to match what the involuntary aspects of your belief structures suggest are true.
