As a pupil of Francisco de Vitoria, he was a member of the so-called School of Salamanca and was long regarded as the father of the doctrine of probabilism, a moral-theological concept that is generally allowed, what good reasons, even if it is for a different behavior if possible, even better arguments there. This view, the " good will " and the underlying intention ascribes a key role has been taken mainly by the Jesuits.
