Catholic Word of the Day Ping!
Please send me a FReepmail if you would like to be on the Catholic Word of the Day Ping List.
It obviously meant “pathological fear of sin,” from its roots. I’ll have to find an opportunity to use it!
actually, no, I’ve never heard of this word OR of scrupulosity :)
I thought it meant inordinate fear of fawning beach photos of Marxist Presidents.
LOL!
You haven’t ever played the Board game “Scruples” then?
Gives you a lot to think about. If playing with children and/or teens some questions need to be adjusted and/or edited by adults.
Snicker. Nice one! Thanks for the giggle.
Thanks, Salvation.
Scrupulosity confuses me, because “scrupulous” is a good thing in the vernacular.
