Can we always blame Satan for our guilt?

[LittleFlower378]

We cannot ALWAYS blame Satan for our guilt since guilt comes from sin, and sin is our free choice to do evil. We can be tempted from (1)Satan, from the (2)seven deadly sins aka from the flesh or we can be tempted from the (3)world, as when others tempt us to sin.Satan can tempt us to feel more unreasonably guilty especially after one has already repented.

Thank you very much. But I have another question. Is “our blaming Satan for our guilt” due to Satan?

 

[Nelka]

Depends, if it causes someone to pride themselves then yes.

“The devil made me do it” doesn’t fly in confession.

Have you tried that one?

I would if the priest’s name was Father Flip Wilson.
