But is this pelagianism that your talking about? Pelagius heresy was that he 
taught we could will and do the good without the help of God. That is the 
critical point: without God's aid. You are preaching to the Faithful - the 
Baptized - and thus you can exhort them to holy behavior just because they are 
baptized and are already filled with the grace of God. Or am I missing something?
