“If a man have a stubborn and unruly son, who will not hear the commandments of his father or mother, and being corrected, slighteth obedience: They shall take him and bring him to the ancients of his city, and to the gate of judgment, and shall say to them: This our son is rebellious and stubborn, he slighteth hearing our admonitions, he giveth himself to revelling, and to debauchery and banquetings: The people of the city shall stone him: and he shall die, that you may take away the evil out of the midst of you, and all Israel hearing it may be afraid.”
– Deut. 21:18-21
Commentary: Not only is it acceptable to grab the noisy child during liturgy or sunday school and thrash him but it is commanded of us. Also we should administer the beating in front of all as an example to the rest. Some scholars believe that if the child’s parents refuse to correct the child they too should be beaten. Since we are sons and daughters in Christ, better one suffer on earth than in the afterlife. So beat away ye stewards of Christ.
