So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you. I feel those who teach that spanking is a Christian method of raising children are misrepresenting the truth. The facts are that when people institute Gary and Anne Marie Ezzos' horrible advice, some of the babies go to the hospital, malnourished, dehydrated and failing to thrive. Sometimes feeding tubes are necessary to keep the infants from dying. Babies are left to cry unattended for long periods, sometimes until they vomit, sometimes until there is blood in their mouths.
Some babies stop making eye contact with their mothers.
The object of the Ezzos' practices is to break the child's will and spirit, and, by golly, it does. L awrence Osborne doesn't seem to have read the book. Eugenio Pacelli had no problem at all standing up against communist atrocities and was quite willing to put himself on the line for that. The church before the concordat barred Nazis from receiving the sacraments of the church. Hitler specifically signed this concordat to get Pacelli to declare this political opposition by Catholics wrong and to forbid the church and its members from denying the sacraments to members of the Nazi Party.
