i didn't realize that's what i was doing at first, until i realized i was spending more time praying for forgiveness for "sins" (mostly obsessive/intrusive thoughts) than literally anything else
i am doing better, but i'm really scared of slipping back into that again. and tbh after talking to other people with religious/superstitious ocd, i wouldn't be surprised if that's the case for some of the really devout people in catholicism. or any religion where sin or similar concepts are a component.
