The guilt a Catholic feels is really no different that that of a Protestant, an Atheist, a pagan or other believer. The term "Catholic Guilt" is a stereotype.
As a religion Catholicism tends to emphasize personal responsibility and a strong sense of right and wrong.
Guilt is supposed to happen when someone knowingly does wrong (sins). This is your conscience telling you to go back to God.
There would be something wrong with you if you sinned and did not feel guilty. Sociopaths feel no guilt.
However feeling guilty after God has forgiven you is not healthy or Catholic.
With love in Christ.

We have a common religious heritage. Our religious fathers are your religious fathers. Our Jesus is the Messiah you are still waiting for. In the early days of Christianity, we worshiped in the synagogues as another Jewish sect until Jews threw us out.
