I guess that some of us are nothing more than unrepentant altruists. We believe that free works belong to everybody. If something is of great value to you don't need for anyone to tell you that; you already know it. How does knowing that you produced something make the idea any better or worse than it would be without that knowledge. How is knowing that you did it better for everyone? Pride, after all, is one of the seven deadly sins.
And yet, the church has no problem attributing good works to saints by name.
