He Would Be Guilty Of Mortal Sin, Because He Exposes Himself To The Danger Of Grievously Offending God. Hence, Before He Acts He Must Lay Aside The Doubt; And If He Has Not Hitherto Done So, He Must Confess It, At Least, As It Is Before God. But The Scrupulous, Who Have Doubts About Everything, Must Follow Another Rule: They Must Obey Their Confessor. When He Tells Them To Conquer Their Doubts, And To Act Against Scruples, They Should Obey With Exactness; Otherwise They Will Render Themselves Unable And Unfit To Perform Any Spiritual Exercise.

The Way To Heaven Is Straight And Narrow: They Who Wish To Arrive At That Place Of Bliss By Walking In The Paths Of Pleasure Shall Be Disappointed; And Therefore Few Reach It, Because Few Are Willing To Use Violence To Themselves In Resisting Temptations.

To Be Silent When We Are Impelled To Utter Words Injurious To God Or To Our Neighbour, Is An Act Of Virtue; But, To Be Silent In Confessing Our Sins, Is The Ruin Of The Soul.
