One of the principles of canon law is that we MUST NOT turn
"shoulds" into "musts." If something is not strictly prohibited
as a matter of law, it is not prohibited, even if it is a
departure from the ideal.

Pascal hated the Jesuits because we tend to be probabilists:

"Probabilism is the moral system which holds that, when there
is question solely of the lawfulness or unlawfulness of an action,
it is permissible to follow a solidly probable opinion in favour
of liberty even though the opposing view is more probable."

People with sensitive consciences and an eager desire to serve
Jesus should learn how to be strict with themselves and how to
go easy on others.
