Dear Sunny,
AdaGrace or someone else will have to answer for Catholics, but Vajrayana Buddhists draw a clear distinction between regret and guilt. We strive to sincerely regret our past wrongdoings and vow not to repeat them (even though we know we probably will), but we also strive not to indulge in feeling guilty about them, which is not about what we've done to others but how we feel about ourselves. Does this make any sense? I feel like I'm not saying it very well.
Best wishes,
Mark H.
