To Roman Catholics who've recieved guidance for scrupulosity... afaik, scrupulous people have been counseled to do whatever they doubt is a sin. Have you ever worried that you would stop being scrupulous (one of the 10% of cured OCD cases) and still live by this "when in doubt" rule despite it not applying to you? How were you instructed to deal with that fear? I go through cycles of "what if I'm not scrupulous" "well I doubt it so I probably am" *calms down* "oh shoot what if-" and I see the cycle but how can I break it when breaking it seems to mean it has come true?

What do you mean sin aren't objectively

How do you tell when an act *is* objectively a sin

I can't really think of anything I'm sure is objectively sinful in all circumstances, and even those things I'm pretty sure of I'm not sure if I understood what they means correctly (eg "does this count as blasphemy/masturbation/etc")

I'm not sure insulting others is inherently sinful but in any case... how do you know whether something counts as insulting others or lying

Anyway, how do you know whether something counts as insulting/lying

@Anonim0us I don't mean these particular examples... like in general how do you know if it counts? What's you general rule or basis

I said anyway...

How do you know when it is? What's your basis

@Anonim0us 1.When it is objectively with that I mean it is a sin no matter who commits it it is a sin. 2.Conscience tells me that I did something wrong the problem here is that you are insecure even if you feel guilty. The solution for me is here to educate my conscience with things that help me to say if something is sinful or not like gospel catechism etc that is my way.

@PhilippFree What do you use to educate your conscience? Are you using "conscience" to mean a function of reason?

@Anonim0us *the function of reason

@Anonim0us I primarily use catholic websites where they break down such things. Im using conscience as your inner voice telling what is right and wrong.

@PhilippFree Catholic websites can disagree and how do you know whether you understand the words right? Like, your reading comprehension is right (not meaning to insult you, just asking)

Even officially Catholic websites disagree, and watching videos still doesn't mean you understood the words rights after

@Anonim0us Well they explain it so I understand and I havent come across a website which contradicts.

@PhilippFree Scrupulous Anonymous probably defies some or all of your expectations

@Anonim0us And some scrupulosity resources say scrupulous people only have to consider sin what the Church herself explicitly says is sin

@Anonim0us Yeah but isnt that the goal go away from your own thoughts which are not true and coming to acknowledge that not everything is sinful.

@PhilippFree I don't understand what your saying... what part of what I said contradicted that goal? /gq

Honestly I got lost at some point in the conversation lol. May I ask, on a different note, what definition of doubt you've found? Like, how do you know if you have a real doubt (when in doubt, assume it's not a sin) or just a feeling of I don't want to do his or something else
