What authority are parents supposed to have over their children?

Does a child need to obey its parents?

Always?

When would it be appropriate to not obey?

We are meant to honour our parents, does this mean that we have to love them too?

Do you think that Jesus ever failed to obey Mary?

How should parents treat their children?

Should corporal punishment be a thing?

If so, are there restrictions?

Parenting and education in general, feel free to add questions as you like.

>What authority are parents supposed to have over their children?

A lot. God literally picked these two individuals to guide you through the early bits of life, rule over you to a degree and teach you to worship Him. If they mess up or shirk the duty, they'l have a bad time.

>Does a child need to obey its parents?

Always?

The conservative answer would be yes. If you're a child below the age of eight and your parents force you to do something bad, God won't punish you but them. Which is to day, even if you might feel that it's wrong, you'd be safer doing God's will and following your parents.

Alternatively, if you somehow are an incredibly young person who can quote Scripture and understand Doctrine, you could stand up to them. Hopefully God would either protect you from their scorn or reward you for bearing their abuses.

>We are meant to honour our parents, does this mean that we have to love them too?

If you follow Jesus Christ, you're supposed to love everybody.

>Do you think that Jesus ever failed to obey Mary?

Couldn't say, frankly. Jesus is a great big exception to a lot of things.

>How should parents treat their children?

>Should corporal punishment be a thing?

Well. They should be strict when called for and lax when that's appropriate. They should teach them about God and how to follow Him correctly, while understanding every person has their own agency.

Corporal punishment is fine in moderation and adjusting for personality. If a child isn't responsive to it, might be better to do otherwise. Never dismiss it without trying it unless your child is physically frail.

I am not a parent, but I had pretty good ones. I'm drawing from our Doctrine and personal experiences in this post.

God first,

If the parents teachings alligns with God teachings then theres harmony, if no, then the child should become awere and follow the true path

How would a child do this?

Catholic reporting in. Fact check everything, I take no responsibility for unchecked stuff I write and this is just the best I can think of:

What authority are parents supposed to have over their children?

read some books on marriage preparation

Does a child need to obey its parents?

In lawful commands. Anything that does not violate the moral law.

Always?

^See above. Also this probably terminates once one is able to live on one's own. If they live at home after becoming an adult, some degree of obedience may also still apply, when there is financial dependence involved.

When would it be appropriate to not obey?

See above.

We are meant to honour our parents, does this mean that we have to love them too?

Jesus says to love even one's enemies.

Do you think that Jesus ever failed to obey Mary?

Not in any moral command. However, remember the story of when Jesus was found in the temple:

How should parents treat their children?

See a parenting book.

Should corporal punishment be a thing?

It is morally permissible. Dunno about legally everywhere.

If so, are there restrictions?

A punishment should probably be in proportion to the crime, and obviously not be threatening to the health of the body.

I will add a comment that people generally seem totally unprepared for marriage today and women need to be trained how to be mothers. Cath Marriage books also state that a married man should in justice be able to secure a family wage at work (able to support himself, wife, and some children with it). Employers have a moral responsibility to see to it that this is possible.

Your trust in books is interesting. Why should I trust a random book though?

>It is morally permissible. Dunno about legally everywhere.

Is it permissible or appropriate? If it is necessary, do we need to ignore the legal situation here?
