Even saints weren’t really “saints,” at least in the sense that we have come to understand that term: the idea of holy men and women of unlimited kindness, patience and virtue. On top of miracles verified by the Catholic Church, what actually made most saints a “saint” was their single-minded determination to get something done. And oftentimes, in order to get this thing done, the person behind that effort had to be something of a hard-headed, single-minded, feelings-bruising son of a bitch.
If you want perfection from your heroes, I suggest you find another hobby.
