Greetings @zekepickleman ,
Thank you for such a thought-full comment...Well said!
It is a fine line...is it not... ^__^
So true with regard to guilt..there are negatives but they can be turned to a positive motivation. Like asking ourselves ...What did we learn?
If I may leave you with a thought...since you mentioned Catholicism. Religion is man seeking the approbation of God through his works...Christianity is God seeking man through the work of Christ on the Cross.
Christianity is not a religion....however I think Catholicism is.
Appreciate you dropping by....thank you!
Kind Regards,
