You know, my parents were fervent Catholics; one of my sisters Catholic fervency approaches the level of Opus Dei. However, all manifested and manifest toleration. Their fervency never approached adamancy.
Sometimes adamancy or unmitigated adherence to a standard can be a function of deficient self-esteem.
Thanks, Little Carmine .
