More goodness from pope Smack'em
February 5, 2015 at 3:07 pm
Coming from the man himself: http://www.news.va/en/news/a-new-appeal-...attered-by
Quote:A good father knows how to wait and knows how to forgive from the depths of his heart. Certainly, he also knows how to correct with firmness: he is not a weak father, submissive and sentimental. The father who knows how to correct without humiliating is the one who knows how to protect without sparing himself. Once I heard in meeting on marriage a father say: “Sometimes I have to strike the children lightly... but never in the face so as not to humiliate them”. How beautiful! He has a sense of dignity. He must punish, but he does is in a just way, and moves on.
Although... It didn't really sound like "striking lightly" in Italian:
Quote:“Io alcune volte devo picchiare un po' i figli … ma mai in faccia per non avvilirli”
The key word is "picchiare". It does not mean "to strike lightly"; it means "to beat".
But as long as you don't beat 'em in the face, that's good! That's just, and that's what a good father does.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

New rules for the Catholic priests: it's ok to have sex with children, but not oral sex as not to humiliate them!

Seeing how his religion's father figure is the guy who gives children cancer, I'm not surprised.
At least he sticks to the company policy.

The key word is "picchiare". It does not mean "to strike lightly"; it means "to beat".
Isn't there a modifier in there, though?
Doesn't 'picchiare un po' have a different meaning than just beat? To be sensible, I think something might be lost in translation. "Beat up a bit" might be the direct translation, which we would say as "smack on the butt," or "lightly striking."
Full honesty: I don't think there's ever a time when a person should use physical violence to correct a child. I am not for corporeal punishment in any way. I won't have any of it when I'm a father.
I just think we all know the church's stance is "spare the rod, spoil the child." This isn't anything new. I don't think that the word "beat" in English is accurately interpreting what the pope was saying.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Yeah there is the "un po'", but still, it's generally not that influent in the meaning of the sentence. It's like something you put there just because it sounds good sometimes. Like in english when you say "I mean"

Spare the rod, and you have to do some actual parenting.

But doesn't it mean "a little" or "a bit?"

I don't care what he says anymore. I still want to jam his eyes out with a spoon.

It does, but it generally doesn't have that much of a weight in the general meaning of a sentence. Of course, it depends on the context. In this case, it doesn't really seem that it does.
It's hard to explain, it's like something that is said and used so many times in the spoken language, that it loses most of its intrinsic meaning and you say it just because it's, well, very common to say.
