Overcoming Scrupulosity: Rebalancing You...

St. Anthony's Tongue
About this episode

Scrupulosity is an issue for many Catholics. In this video, I will address scrupulosity as an imbalance between the three transcendentals of the faith. Scrupulous thinking is often a sign of too much of a focus on the intellect, and neglecting charity and devotion. We will also be discussing the true nature of God, and how sometimes we treat Yahweh like a pagan deity rather than a merciful Father. #Catholic #catholicism #spirituality #christianity #spirituality #god #jesus #catholicchurch #mysticism
