Guilt Quote by Kliewer
““When it comes to spiritual dis-ease there is probably no issue more powerful than that of guilt. People often joke about guilt and its relationship to spirituality, or more frequently, religion. One man in Oregon jokingly calls himself a "Zen Catholic." Referring to his Irish Catholic background, which for him was the basis of some guilty feelings, he says, "I not only feel guilt, I meditate on it.””
