GUILT AND SHAME AND THE LAW

File:Collegiale-Thann-p1010106.jpgI wish to discuss shame; primarily in a political context.

Shame of course is a personal variable.

We are supposed to experience a different feeling for guilt than that of shame.

I would experience guilt if I stole my neighbor's goods.

But at some point in time, I would begin to experience shame; the shame of a being a thief.

Thief being a status while thieving being the actual crime.

...through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault.

The idea of confession (from an idealist's perspective) is that somehow we get rid of our guilt and our shame through the action of the priest (the representative of God on earth). Although penance might consist of reciting a few rosaries; we are also asked to make 'amends'.
