Yet I believe I can say that sin has not so disordered all the soul's faculties that we cannot, in certain cases, consult ourselves, and that it often happens that we lose the life of the soul or the body because we appeal to physicians who lack expertise in their art and who do not know our temperament sufficiently, or to spiritual directors who are ignorant in religion and morals, and who do not thoroughly examine consciences to discover the obligations and dispositions of those consulting them.
