I really, really hate to butt in here… but I believe you were formerly involved with traditionalist Roman Catholicism, and I was as well.
I noticed in myself that a daily examination of conscience coupled with weekly confession and a general study of traditional moral theology made an absolute mess of me, and that there was much fear of punishment and of making reparation that was caused.
I just wanted to mention that in case it might be relevant to you in any way.
