European culture hopelessly failed formalism, legal principles. ... Well we know from daily life, so it is no wonder that the believers are constantly tempted to understand this way and their faith.

That is precisely what shows Dostoevsky`s "Idiot" Myškin - walking norm of moral principles of the gospel, but never pray the Lord's Prayer. Tolstoy, who promoted a Christianity couldn`t see that the basic revelation of the gospel is the belief that God is Father and that we are called to a constant dialogue with him, which in turn determines the form of morality. Formalism could be compared to the position of a son who would say to his mother: "What she says is very wise thing, but I will not deal with her. 
This, however, consequences for our attitude to the orders and structures. There is, for example marriage law, but people still do not because such a right exists. Taken, therefore, that they love and promise to love, respect and loyalty. Marriage is a right they only help to make it better able to implement. 

But for our mentality is still difficult to accept. Hypocrasy is the eternal temptation of not only the Pharisees of old, but also Christians.
