The Rule of St. Benedict - Chapter 70. The Presumption Of Striking Another Monk At Will

(1) In the monastery every occasion for presumption is to be avoided,
(2) and so we decree that no one has the authority to excommunicate or strike any of his brothers unless he has been given this power by the abbot.
(3) "Those who sin should be reprimanded in the presence of all, that the rest may fear," (1 Tim 5:20).
(4) Boys up to the age of fifteen should, however, be carefully controlled and supervised by everyone,
(5) provided that this too is done with moderation and common sense.

(6) If a brother, without the abbot's command, assumes any power over those older or, even in regard to boys, flares up and treats them unreasonably, he is to be subjected to the discipline of the rule.
(7) After all, it is written, "Never do to another what you do not want done to yourself," (Tob 4:16).
