Q & A on Scrupulosity

A very helpful blog for Catholics is Catholic Spiritual Direction.

Here Fr. John answers a question on scrupulosity:

Q: Father John, I seem to be struggling with scrupulosity. However, when I read St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross, they exhort that any small sin or attachment can keep us from union with God. How do I know if I am scrupulous or just sensitive to sin? How do I avoid taking sin too lightly? If I am scrupulous, how do I overcome it?
