Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
RIGORISM (Lat. rigor, stiffness, firmness) , a philosophical
term
  applied by
Kant
  specially to those moralists who take up an
anti
 -hedonist or ascetic standpoint. In
general
  the
term
  is opposed to " latitudinarianism " or " indifferentism,"respectively a morality of
compromise
  and a morality of pure indifference,and signifies insistence upon the strictest interpretation of a principle,
rule
  or criterion. Thus, in
Roman
  Catholic
theology
 , a rigorist holds that in cases of
conscience
  the proper course is to adhere to the strict wording of the law in question.
