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.

***Jansenism is a heresy.***
***Jansenism [concise.britannica.com]
Roman Catholic reform movement inspired by the writings of Cornelius Jansen.
Influenced by the works of St. Augustine and especially by Augustine's attacks on Pelagianism and the doctrine of free will, Jansen adopted Augustine's doctrines of predestination and the necessity of God's grace, a stance considered uncomfortably close to Calvinism by Roman Catholic authorities, who banned his book the Augustinus in 1642.***
Sounds like an allright kinda guy. We may need to revisit this after we purge the poofsters.
