This Pope is an interesting person, to say the least. And his most-recent comment is going to cause quite a stir around the world, especially in America, and with the bleeding-heart liberals.
So what are your thoughts on his most-recent holy edict?

Is spanking your kids a political issue now?

As for spanking. I've done it once. No thanks. Never did it again. I don't think people that spank their kids are monsters or anything but it's just not for me. -
Taking corporal punishment away from the parents is what is causing our school systems to run amuck. Teachers need to wear riot gear to work nowadays...

As for your response, that is what I am looking for, and it appears you tried corporal punishment and it didn't feel right for you! Thanks for sharing that.
However, regarding the dust you are intentionally trying to kick up, it appears that you are being totally ridiculous, and that leaves me to believe if your parents spanked you once in a while, you'd probably not have turned out so cantankerous! :smilewinkgrin: -
Spanking should NOT be the first step of discipline.
But when it comes to that, after the spanking; than it is imperative that you take your child and hug him and let him know that you love him. -

However, the Bible does not support abuse of children. There is a proper role for spanking on the seat of education. Lesser pain (spanking) is said to be a warning for greater pain (hell) for those who continue in rebellion.
Spanking is just one form of discipline, that I reserve for willful open defiance. Time outs, standing in the corner, removing priviledges are all valid forms of discipline for lesser problems or for children beyond the age of spanking. -
Our father in heaven gives us "spankings"
