...Is it really necessary to wikify "human beings"? --User:Jenmoa 2 July 2005 03:58 (UTC)

Living a holy life, as defined by the Catholic church, has little to do with perfection? Really? It has nothing to do with perfectionism, and (especially if the "universality" is stressed) with the state of perfection, but I thing St. Thomas uses the word "perfection" for quasi-exactly this in his Summa theol., 2nd/2nd 184. And if it is a fine answer to the universal call for holiness what, say, Opus Dei supernumeraries do, the much-talked-about man in the street would quite agree with him that this word is fitting. --84.154.61.218 (talk) 20:43, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality and relationship with Evangelical counsels

[edit]

This article strongly affirms that the Catholic Church has always taught the Universal call to holiness. I'm not convinced this is true. While we can creatively reconcile diverse teachings, I am fairly confident that this teaching has been emphasized in recent times in particular to counteract (perhaps misinterpreted) earlier teachings that the evangelical counsels were only for some (esp. monks), and common people could largely ignore Jesus' commands in the gospels. This article would do well to discuss this. Daask (talk) 21:35, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
