			It is a vicious circle and a bottomless pit.

			== Virtue is the mean between extremes ==

			Contrition is essential to the development of the spiritual life. As we begin the journey, it often happens that we become anxious about unintentional sins, unconfessed sins, the quality of our confession, and the fullness of God's mercy. Those who suffer from scrupulosity lack a sane and balanced judgment of what they have done, so their guilt knows no bounds.
