You need a picture to start a thread. Some people prefer cute girls. And motorbikes.
I found a Vatican II catechism at SVDP today. Will return with results, if you guys are interested.

I thought that Catholics were Aristotelian and Orthodox were Neoplatonic

It is to become, by grace, more like God.

Great video, love it.
Other way around, Aristotle is the guy who didn't believe in universal forms.
Nicholas Murphy
Its an artform tho.

Before even getting past the declaration of faith, the cathecism explains a similar concept.
(From memory)
In the beginning, Man was created with the purpose of being stewards to Creation. As the only creature uniquely positioned in friendship with The Father, we borrowed from the divine nature to perform our duties. The Spirit flowed through Adam and Eve, and it was good.
All sin is likened to the first, in that sin is disobedience of God's command. Even today, disobedience disrupts communion, and Grace is lost. Original sin is literally loss of the initial dose of Grace.
(Independent thought)
Based on this, and the description given of Theosis, it sounds as though when properly executed Theosis is a reinstatement of original Grace.
It's described as though it is beyond apostlistic levels because it is the perfection of our Grace. It is the point at which you have surrendered yourself enough to discard sin entirely, and can freely access divinity as we were originally meant to. Hence the description " caught fire" with The Spirit. This is not dangerous or unholy because by discarding the will to disobey allows perfect fulfillment of God's will.
Sounds like exactly the goal we all should aspire to. I think this is my new area of study.
Corrections? Comments? Anybody else want to focus on this specifically, and trade ideas from time to time?
