Yes BM - IF 90% of the Afghanistani men are beating their wives then 90% of Afghani men are not obeying the Quran. To think otherwise will be as silly as arguing Catholicism says it is ok for priests to touch up young boys - and no one is silly enough to say that are they!
Koran 4:34 - Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that God has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for God's guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them. If they then obey you, look not for any way against them; God is All-high, All-great.
Catechism - Priests are the managers of the affairs of children for that God has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous children are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for God's guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and touch them. If they then obey you, look not for any way against them; God is All-high, All-great.

The only time touching is ever allowed is if a series of escalating punishments are meted out by the priest, and within a context of a judicial system that allows the children to appeal and even ultimately change congregation.
The crimes that merit punishment are what eh is asking about in this thread - and nucleus above has addressed this. eh - you can also look up what commentators and experts say on this too.
To my knowledge though - I know of no Catholic priest who has applied the first two levels of punishment and then proceeded on the last level. Nucleus, do you know of anyone??

Your one attempt proved to be a lie.

I proved you told a big fat lie when you claimed the article agreed with your fantasy - it didn't.
