Christiformitas in Nicholas of Cusa's roman sermons (1459) 2011 Bibliography In 1459, while Pope Pius II was out of Rome, Nicholas of Cusa served as governor of the city and attempted reform of the clergy of the city. The sermons for his reform synod and visitations emphasize Christiformitas, conformity to Christ. No individual could attain Christ’s perfection. However, the Christian could conform more closely to Christ, attaining greater perfection. The concept of Christiformitas thus brought Nicholas’ ideas on the limits of human knowledge and reform together in preaching to the clergy of Rome. The subtleties of Cusanus’ thought were thus adjusted to the needs of pastoral care and Christian life.
