Catholic children of my era came across the concept of infinity at a very early age. We were taught religion at school by means of the Catechism, a small red book, written in a 'question and answer' style.
The answer to the question, 'Who is God?' was
''God is the Supreme Being who alone exists of himself and is infinite in all perfections."
(I always liked that but prefer the word 'goodness' to 'perfection'.)
