Been there on more than one self-righteous, delusional occasion:

The strange thing is that when you think you are totally detached, you discover an abyss of attachments. Catherine Doherty

The full quote from Living the Gospel without Compromise: "The strange thing is that when you think you are totally detached, you discover an abyss of attachments. This hurts very much. How easily we are fooled. We will never know what poverty really is until we stop being avaricious, gluttonous, and preoccupied with ourselves."

Benedict Groeschel was right. This is a great book. So far, anyway (I'm only part way through it). It's a humbling book, at least for someone like me. If you want to feel like a fake and a hypocrite, buy it.
