I want to thank you for reintroducing me to that word.
Scrupulosity is a psychological disorder characterized by pathological guilt about moral or religious issues. It is personally distressing, objectively dysfunctional, and often accompanied by significant impairment in social functioning. [wikipedia]
One need look no further than any Catholic topic thread in this forum to find examples of scrupulosity in those anti-Catholics who show up like flies on a hot August dung heap.
Peace be with you.

Or even, it seems, the anti-everyone-who-isn't-Catholics who show up on Protestant topic threads and buzz around like flies on a hot August ..... Some of you guys just can't help yourselves, can you? It's a form of religous OCD. You know...scrupulosity?
