Entire Sanctification, Confirmation, and St. Francis de Sales

I'm hoping to eventually write some kind of an entry showing the eery connection between the Nazarene doctrine (Article of Faith X) of entire sanctification and the Sacrament of Confirmation; additionally, and even more eerily, there are significant connections to be made between the strenuously scientific while vaguely mystical 'entire sanctification' and the purgative writings of St. Francis de Sales. For now I can only write about writing about this and provide a sort of 'nexus' for thinking about this stuff; hopefully I will eventually have time (after schoolwork, the entry series, and the Nazarene Theses) to follow up on this.

St. Francis's theology of 'entire sanctification'
