We know it was that time period, when else would it be? Also, sounds like possibly the editor's opinion. There's no source. Reverted per WP:BRD, take it to talk.

I don't see anything on Talk yet a couple hours later, so I'm just going to remove this part you seem to like so much as well then since it has no source and no citation as well and looks like another editor's opinion on "catholic teaching" (it isn't and sounds silly too).

Line 11: ==In theology== ===Catholicism=== In the [[theology]] of the [[Roman Catholic Church]], "works of supererogation" (also called "acts of supererogation") are those performed beyond what God requires.<ref name=EB1911/> ~~For example, in [[1 Corinthians 7]], [[Paul the Apostle]] says that while everyone is free to marry, it is better to refrain from marriage and remain celibate to better serve God.~~ The Roman Catholic Church holds that the [[counsels of perfection]] are supererogatory acts, which specific [[Christians]] may engage in above their moral duties. Similarly, it teaches that to determine how to act, one must engage in reasonable efforts to be sure of what the right actions are; after the reasonable action, the person is in a state of [[vincible ignorance\|invincible ignorance]] and guiltless of wrongdoing, but to undertake more than reasonable actions to overcome ignorance is supererogatory, and praiseworthy. According to the classic teaching on [[indulgence]]s, the works of supererogation performed by all the saints form a treasure with God, the "treasury of merit," which the church can apply to exempt [[repentance (Christianity)\|repentant]] sinners from the works of [[penance\|penitence]] that would otherwise be required of them to achieve full remission of the temporal punishment due to their sin.
