Where do you read this in the Bible? That’s right, because it isn’t there.
I would assume by your comment that you are a protestant? If so, buzz off. This the CATHOLIC word of the day thread.
Many English words that have legal or moral implications are not in the Bible.
This thread is clearly entitled, "Catholic Word of the Day"
Read what in the Bible?
That little children are innocent of sin is very much in the Bible. See, for example, Matthew 18:1-10, Matthew 19:14.
That the Church is authorized to legislate its own activities is also in the Bible, see for example, Matthew 18:18 or Acts 20:28.
I think it is fine for you to ask. It is an open thread and not a Catholic Caucus thread. What does your confession teach regarding children becoming adults?
Do this run on some kind of auto-type function on your keyboard? For example, if I posted PANGOLIN, would you respond, “Where do you read this in the Bible? That’s right, because it isn’t there.”?
Just kidding. I bet it was catz.
“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the things of a child.”

Other bible translations actually use the word “reasoned”:
