Forgot to check that box again.

Why should Ladislaus ask a priest?  He is completely right.

Can any of you imagine what would happen if a priest condoned corporal punishment of a wife?
He'd loose half his parishoners.
Adults don't resort to hitting each other.  Any adult who does is just a bully who hasn't grown up.
Toddlers are spanked because you can't reason with them.
From reaching the age of reason (5-6) to teens a good smack is a wake up call.
After 16-17 they should know how to understand and other punishment is more meaningful than hitting.
As mentioned earlier  Joseph never hit Mary when he found out she was with child

If you must hit........be prepared for the consequences!

Ladislaus should ask a priest, because if it is a traditional priest who was well formed, he will be able to tell him that yes the moral theology books do make it clear that corporal punishment is permitted for wives.

The logic you outline above is probably why the Church says it should only be for serious sins.

False.

False.

Did you ask your priest that?

No?

well go do it. I have seen it myself in TWO separate moral theology books used by priests.

So go chew on that for a while.

No.  Not every act of disobedience is a grave sin.  As with most things, there are degrees of veniality before there's serious sin.  Trad Catholics also seem to believe this about modesty, as if a woman wearing an otherwise-modest sleeveless shirt is the same as a woman wearing a mini-skirt or exposing 2/3rds of her breasts ... with the former being venial while the latter serious/mortal.  Same thing with disobedience or disrespect by a wife to her husband.

We have already agreed to that. Try to move the conversation forward, not backward.

I studied moral theology in seminary.  Have never seen it.  Cite references.  Otherwise, you're probably just a liar making this up to promote your own agenda.

And even if you could find a source here or there that says this, I dispute their position.  Which is what this thread is about.  You have yet to make a single rational argument in favor of your position.  You simply emote like a woman and then, like the effeminate coward that you are, you refuse to de-cloak from your anonymity.

Nope.  This needed to be corrected ... along with all the other bogus information on this thread that can do harm.  Not every act of disrespect is a mortal sin.  This response of mine was made almost immediately after Jaynek posted it, so at the time nobody had "already agreed to that".  So you're full of it.
