“Catholics easy to explain, especially devout Catholics. Why? Because they have a sense of ‘guilt’ in them. From original sin on up, they know in their mind somewhere they must have sinned/done wrong. Not taking a hack at Catholics, I am one, so this makes great sense to me.”

Ha ha, so true!

And the flipside is a sociopath with no sense of guilt can effortlessly fool it.
