Dan

Editor’s Note: Here are helpful posts on scrupulosity, which, according to the definition of scrupulosity in the glossary of Dan’s book “Navigating the Interior Life: Spiritual Direction and the Journey to God”, is the habit of imagining sin where none exists, or grave sin where the matter is venial. To overcome scrupulosity, a person needs to be properly instructed in order to form a right conscience, and in extreme cases, the only remedy is absolute obedience (for a time) to a prudent confessor.
