Very true. They will gaslight and tell you that there is some ever so slight difference between spiritual "scrupulosity" and the kinds of spiritual austerities undertaken by the saints. But if (Rad Trad) Catholicism is true, and a human being can go to hell for a single unconfessed session of masturbation, the proper response of the human heart in this kind of universe would be this kind of self-effacing obsession with sin.

>By all accounts people say Mother Teresa was a pretty joyful person
Perhaps she possessed a degree of inner-joy unknown to us, but no, she died miserable while even doubting the existence of God I believe.

>heard that a guy was schizo-torturing himself in confession and explicitly told him to cut that shit out.
But where is the line between scrupulousity and genuine compunction and regret?
Fr. Novus Ordo tells me you can basically have gay sex every day and not become too rigid in thinking you even need to go to confession (and they will get offended when you ask to go to confession, believe me)
Fr. Rad Trad will then turn around and tell you if you die in mortal sin (i.e. missing mass intentionally on Sunday) you are libel to go directly to hell for eternity.

The people like me who went through spiritual torment in this system are not the problem. The problem lies with the errant spiritual teachings of the Church itself.

>I have never felt it was my place to quasi-coercively "persuade" people into "switching" to "my team."
All those who explicitly reject the Catholic Faith go to hell right? There is no Salvation outside the Church.
I truly believed that (albeit with a touch of nuance) and my attitude was not so lax about the prospect that my departed love ones were burning and I might have been able to help them. It ruined me.

>Boys are way more timid, basically doing whatever the girl wants for a chance of pussy. The girls are super assertive and openly promiscuous
That's really hot to me.
Is there any psychological analysis available to explain why I find this phenomenon so hot?
