It in 6823 to Dr. E's original post.

...All-holy is from the Greek, Panagia and is also used by all Orthodox. It, Panagia, is used in titles because she is the supreme example of cooperation between God and the free will of man. "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to your word".

From now on we won’t expect to encounter surface-level piety, correct?

I'm not understanding what you're referring to here?

[the_conscience]

So "holy" is defined as cooperation between God and the (abstract) free will of man? Besides the fact that I have never seen a definition of holy in this way, how can a personal God cooperate with an abstract principle?

Here's Merriams:

1 : exalted or worthy of complete devotion as one perfect in goodness and righteousness
3 : devoted entirely to the deity or the work of the deity
4 a : having a divine quality b : venerated as or as if sacred
5 —used as an intensive ; often used in combination as a mild oath

So I guess my speculation finds cooperation Webster's understanding. Apparently the pious rebuke should be rescinded.

And I'm not surprised you don't understand.
