Breaking Catholic Scrupulosity w/ Dr. Foluso Solarin, Ph.D. | David L. Gray in the Morning
Saint Maximilian of Tebessa, the young martyr who refused to violate his conscience even under pressure, stands before us on March 12 as a witness to integrity, clarity, and interior freedom. His example sets the tone for today’s conversation with Dr. Foluso Solarin, Ph.D., as we explore the difficult but important topic of scrupulosity—a form of religious OCD that affects many Catholics, especially those shaped by traditional formation.

In this episode, Dr. Foluso Solarin of Skillset Counseling helps us understand what scrupulosity is, how it develops, and why it often hides behind the appearance of piety. We discuss the signs that someone may be struggling, the psychological and spiritual patterns that keep people trapped, and the pathways toward healing through proper clinical care, spiritual direction, and a renewed understanding of God’s mercy.
A well‑formed conscience differs from a tormented one. The Catholic faith calls us not to fear, but to freedom, clarity, and peace.
