Default Traditionalist Catholics? They still believe this, don't they?

Are those who dance through their lives to the tune of this twaddle just plain retarded? Or is nihilism just so attractive? To think that there are learned men around these parts who do, is enough to make one go a bit batty in trying to get ones head around it all.

Prayer for a Good Confession

O my God, by my grievous sins I have re-crucified Thy divine Son to myself and have deserved Thy everlasting wrath in the fires of hell. Even more, I have been most ungrateful by my sins to Thee, my Heavenly Father, Who have created me out of nothing, redeemed me by Thy Son, and sanctified me in the sacraments by Thy Holy Spirit. But Thou hast spared me to make this confession. Receive me back as Thy prodigal son and grant me to confess myself well, that I may begin anew to love Thee with my whole heart and soul, henceforth keeping Thy Commandments and suffering patiently whatever temporal punishment for my sins may remain. I hope by Thy goodness and power to obtain everlasting life in paradise. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

I think the kiddy-diddlers threw that one in for good measure.

I read one of the more heavily promoted Catholic books in this vein, called "Self Improvement." It was printed back in the 30s or 40s, by a Catholic psychologist called Allers. The main thing I took away from it was that the error or vice or flaw they call 'scrupulosity' is essentially the same thing as their ordinary daily soul-searching RDA for their members. To me, I'm not interested in myself enough to engage in spiritual examination of every single goddam thing I did in the last 24 hours. A little reflection is good, but they want to make the this the entire basis of your life. To me it seems sour and stale. Anything that moves is going to bounce off other things, and some of the time damage them. I think a mature person would understand that and take it into account in judging himself and others, but they want 24/7/365 self-inspection. Not worth it.
