Santa, CSsR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany people, at one time or another, struggle with faith issues about sin, guilt, punishment, and hell. But a small few, particularly Catholics, so fear offending God-or fear never being forgiven by God-that they are unable to participate in daily life without experiencing severe doubt and anxiety. Rather than experiencing faith as a source of peace, their faith causes them to dwell on or second guess every decision they make.\u003cbr\u003eThese people have scrupulosity. Sometimes called the doubting disease. Many Redemptorists believe their founder, Alphonsus Liguori, struggled with scrupulosity all his life. Because of this, Redemptorists have a special charism for compassionately helping those with this disease achieve peace of mind in their day-to-day struggle.\u003cbr\u003eBased on a half-century of questions and answers published in the Scrupulous Anonymous newsletter, \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Scrupulosity: Questions and Encouragement\u003c\/i\u003e addresses concerns related to sin, thoughts, dreams, fantasies, and sexuality, as well as confession, self-worth, prayer, and God's grace.\u003cbr\u003eThis third edition of \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Scrupulosity\u003c\/i\u003e includes new chapters on identifying and understanding behaviors associated with scrupulosity, and explains the medical breakthroughs of the past decade on how to treat it.","published_at":"2025-03-14T15:12:02","created_at":"2025-03-14T15:12:02","vendor":"Liguori Publications","type":"BOOK","tags":["Subject_Pastoral Ministry","Type_Books"],"price":3599,"price_min":3599,"price_max":3599,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":true,"all_variant_ids":[42159662235715],"variants":[{"id":42159662235715,"product_id":7387257372739,"product_handle":"understanding-scrupulosity","title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"864-0154","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"image_id":null,"available":true,"name":"UNDERSTANDING SCRUPULOSITY - Default Title","options":["Default Title"],"price":3599,"weight":450,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":2,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","inventory_in_cart":0,"inventory_remaining":2,"incoming":false,"next_incoming_date":null,"taxable":true,"barcode":null}],"available":true,"images":["\/\/marytown-press-gift-store.myshopify.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/864-01541.jpg?v=1743786195","\/\/marytown-press-gift-store.myshopify.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/864-0154_2.jpg?v=1743786214"],"featured_image":"\/\/marytown-press-gift-store.myshopify.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/864-01541.jpg?v=1743786195","options":["Title"],"url":"\/products\/understanding-scrupulosity"}
