The dominant narrative of victimized American Indians and victimizer white settlers has a tendency to obscure what the many civilizations and tribes of our continent’s indigenous populations were truly like.
Traditional Catholics and the Problem of Scrupulosity
Traditional Catholics are particularly susceptible to scrupulosity, because a (understandable) lack of trust in the leaders of the Church can lead to an increased reliance on one’s own understanding, and therefore scrupulosity.
