The same Catholic pedagogy ran from restrained to unrestrained severity by context
Evidence
First: the Iberian Catholic mission-school system in the Americas operated across a spectrum from the bounded Tlatelolco-Jesuit model (verbal admonition first, five-stroke maximum, no anger, no face-striking) to the severe Alta California model (whipping of men, women, and children for a wide range of infractions including speaking indigenous languages). The spectrum matters. The bounded end represents the Counter-Reformation Catholic pedagogical framework operating under institutional restraint. The severe end represents the same framework operating under colonial conditions that removed restraint. — , The Rod and the Child, 4969
