>It's called an ideal for a reason. The question just is what the nature of it is and I'm putting forward that the peak conceptualization and practice is found in Catholicism.

no your fairy tale sucks like all the other ones, the only reason you believe it's good is because there were a handful of times and places where it seemed like aspirants to this ideal were cool and good. they weren't.

>It was the Catholics who fought modernism

pffffffffffff AHAHAHAHAHA. notice the past tense of "fought". because it was always a matter of progressing toward modernism. if you want to see what an actual ascetic warrior looks like today without getting totally cucked by the material, look to the monks of myanmar who exercise propriety but will burn a village of muslims down when motherfuckers want to step up. overall they're still lame but at least they actually practice merit-making and aren't just a scabs for a mafia that enriches vatican pedophiles.
