Pettifogging: When You Lose Sight of the Big Picture
What is pettifogging? It’s what happens when we put undue emphasis on petty details—which many of us do a lot in our spiritual lives.
Pettifogging is the first thing St. Ignatius of Loyola warns against in The Spiritual Exercises. He reminds us that we are made to know, love, and serve God. All other things are minor in comparison.
