Context and religion

During read of letters of Blaise Pascal(1623-1662), French philosopher, mathematical and theological, his letters called Provincials, where he considered and he registered also and above all dialogues about theologian and faith, when he said with Jesuitical monk; in seventh letter this monk John from Alba, Italian Jesuitical that justifies murder and duel; principal motive is a theological dispute about think of Louis de Molina, Hispanic Jesuitical, that written a book around freedom of man to get Good’s grace and with this freedom decide if refuse or accept, this book with Latin title Concordia liberi arbitrii cum gratiae donis, was opposed by Cornelius Otto Jansen, whose think was considered heretical, although alone for some affirmation. But during this dialogue between Pascal and John from Alba have showed some principal  unthinkable today to Church, because it is alone homicide, but this Jesuitical thinks that it is justified because is legitimate to defender our goods and our honour also with homicide; we must consider this think contextual to time and habit, everybody during 17th century, if offense would have this reaction, this way is descripted very masterly by Alexander Dumas in Three musketeers, with D’Artagnan must responds three duels with three musketeers, alone because he has collided three musketeers; then duels was journey during ancient time; this behaviour expressed by a Jesuitical is very strange, but we must consider that this Jesuitical monk tells and consider these fights and sins during 17th century, therefore he related these opinions to time and moral condition of France during his century, then he described that he sees, and he considers that he lives during his century, and deny these habits and search alone peace was impossible; this is alone a relation between human nature and theological science; but we must remarked that this Jesuitical monk is very modern, because he relate to social context, and he understand that the sin can have right and legitimacy because is habit. To proof this concept is some mentions of this monk, that said that: “…a man with armies  can pursue whom has hurt him; if he thinks to keep his honour and not give wrong…”, it is evident that this way expressed is alone a false question to justify duel and homicide that during 17th century was legitimacy and dutiful.
