Perfection is the complete possession of an attribute, a state of supreme excellence to which nothing is lacking. We may distinguish four principal types. <\/p>\n
Metaphysical perfection is unlimited being, complete reality; when this obtains without any conceivable limitation, as with God, it is absolute; when it signifies this completeness in only one phase of reality, it is relative or partial, such as perfect adaptation to an end, or realization of our own essence. When a perfection is intrinsically limited, like sentient life, it is called mixed; intrinsically without limit, like goodness, it is simple. Only these latter may be predicated of God. <\/p>\n
Moral perfection is the full attainment of the moral ideal, the complete fulfilment of the moral law. <\/p>\n
Christian perfection is a state of union with God through charity. <\/p>\n
Religious perfection is a condition of observance of the Evangelical Counsels through the triple vows. <\/p>\n
