What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Theophylact of Ohrid
He did not say: afflict him, punish him—though by the grace of the Holy Spirit he could have done so—but commands them to guard themselves, that is, to avoid him, to withdraw from him, leaving the punishment to God. That is, he wages war and opposes the preaching of the Gospel.
Western Saints
Thomas Aquinas
Hence he adds, "whom do you also avoid" as a heretic: "a man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition, avoid" (Titus 3:10). The reason behind this advice is that "he has greatly withstood our words": "you always resist the Holy Spirit" (Acts 7:51).
