Discipline
within Holy Mother Church is carefully patterned in . . . **Sacred :bible1: Scripture in Matthew ** . . . for execution . . .
+The Holy :bible1: Bible
Matthew 18:7-10
7 WOE to the world because of scandals. For it must needs be that scandals come: but nevertheless WOE to that man by whom the scandal cometh. 8 And if thy hand, or thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee to go into life maimed or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. 9 And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee. It is better for thee having one eye to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. 10 See that you despise not one of these little :blackeye: ones: for I say to you, ** that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father who is in heaven**.

For over fifteen centuries healthy strict discipline has been practiced as recorded below by the largest religious order in our Holy Mother Catholic Church . . . the **Order of St. Benedict (O.S.B) **. . . and all these other orders such as the Cistercians (Trappists), Camaldolese, all are dedicated and consecrated to follow the
Holy Rule of St. Benedict for Monasteries . . . and all these orders have multitudes of Oblates . . . a type of prayerful third order laity . . . who follow the **
Holy Rule of St. Benedict while living their lives out in the world . . . we even have a Benedictine Spirituality Forum **here at CAF . . . with religious, oblates, lay Catholicis interested in learning and following . . . day by day . . . the **Benedictine **
Rule . . . discerning priests, discerning religious, discerning oblates, interested lay Christians, etc. . . . all who are members of the Forum . . .
Below is the discipline firmly enforced in holy communities within these religious orders . . . while the greater Catholic Church body has gravely and tragically failed at times to discipline . . . with tragic results and harm beyond human comprehension has occurred because of this failure . . . :stretcher::crutches: . . . that just calls for for deeper commitment and followthrough for God’s children . . . who are schooled in the wisdom and knowledge that such disciplines are
absolutely necessary for the health and welfare of the entire church . . . to act and speak out . . .** for our Wounded-Crucified Lord Jesus Holy name’s sake in the lives of all the children** . . . and to
stand up and
speak out for discipline . . . to strengthen Holy Mother Church where she may be weak and fall gravely short at times . . . which is absolutely essential . . . in order to help bring about correction and stop the abuse of children . . .

Of Those Who Having Often Been Corrected Do Not Amend
March 5 - July 5 - November 4
If a brother hath often been corrected and hath even been excommunicated for a fault and doth not amend, let a more severe correction be applied to him, namely, proceed against him with corporal punishment.
But if even then he doth not reform, or puffed up with pride, should perhaps, which God forbid, even defend his actions, then let the Abbot act like a prudent physician. After he hath applied soothing lotions, ointments of admonitions, medicaments of the Holy :bible1: Scriptures, and if, as a last resource, he hath employed the caustic of excommunication and the blows of the lash, and seeth that even then his pains are of no avail, let him apply for that brother also what is more potent than all these measures: his own prayer and that of the brethren, that the Lord who is all-powerful may work a cure in that brother.
But if he is not healed even in this way, then finally let the Abbot dismiss him from the community, as the Apostle saith: “Put away the evil one from among you” (1 Cor 5:13); and again: “If the faithless depart, let him depart” (1 Cor 7:15); lest one diseased sheep infect the whole flock.
