The Catholic Case for Spanking

From Peter Kwasniewski


I recently slogged through a new book (https://bakerpublishinggroup.com/prod...) entitled The Myth of Good Christian Parenting—page after page of drivel dressed up as moral insight, a sermon for soft parents who think firmness is fascism. To read it is to watch common sense being waterboarded with buzzwords until all meaning leaks out. It’s essential to get one thing straight: spanking is not beating, discipline is not domination.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
