Been to Santa Scala. That’s separate to the topic. What’s wrong with striving for perfection? If they want to — we can criticise what they consider as perfection, but the striving for a definition of perfection is good — that is what we Christians should also be doing — striving hard to follow our image of perfection: Jesus Christ, 100% man and 100% God, of one being with the Father and the Holy Spirit, Triune Godhead.
That's what this thread is about.
