“One must always distinguish between an abnormal manifestation of guilt and guilt itself. For example, a person given to excessive washing of hands is manifesting an abnormal sense of guilt, but this does not alter the fact that behind this particular complex there may be a very real reason for a sense of guilt. A denial of guilt is a denial of responsibility, and a denial of responsibility is a denial of freedom. Illustrating the attitude of those who insist on having rights but no duties, freedom but no responsibility, praise but no blame, is a cartoon in which a psychoanalyst is pictured telling a mother: Yes, your boy is stubborn, cruel, perverted, a kleptomaniac, has criminal tendencies – but bad, no.” Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Life is Worth Living)
