It sounds like the usual heavy dose of Jansenistic morality one expects in an organization dominated by French and Irishmen.

In an era which has lost its sense of sin, I think that this sort of moral rigorism is something to admire, not admonish.

You think that going from one extreme to the other is a good thing? Jansenism is a heresy if memory serves...

Jansenism is a heresy. The Moral Theology of St. Alphonsus is what is proposed to us by the Church.

Moral rigorism is not the liberty of Christ.
