Note 946 — Chapter II · THE TREATMENT OF PENITENTS IN DIFFERENT EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCES
Richard F. (Richard Frederick) Clarke translation
Whether immodest acts and jokes which children have practiced be sins or not, let the confessor admonish them, in accordance with the principle principiis obsta, to avoid carefully for the future these things and everything impure. But let him do so with fatherly love, in order that, should they do these things again, the children may not be afraid to confess them.
