How were lords punished if they disobeyed the church in middle ages?
In the Middle Ages, priests were not tried for crimes in secular courts unless they had committed such a crime as treason. For most felonies or misdemeanors, they were tried in ecclesiastical courts, which had rather different standards than secular courts. Punishments for priests found guilty of crimes usually included the guilty being defrocked, but could also include some sort of penance, such as service on the crusades or in a monastery. There was some question as to whether a priest who was defrocked could subsequently be tried for the same crime in secular court. If he was, then he would get the same punishment as anyone else.

I personally don't think one can stop being a womanizer. I have tried and tried but as much as I try and put an effort I can't seem to stop. Woman are all I think about. I love sex. Who doesn't though some guys and girls aren't the same. Some like sex once a week. Some once or twice a week or every other week. Some even like it 3 times a month so not everyone is the same. I like it a lot. Therefor I have it 3-4 times a day.

What assumptions underlie the courts decision that preventive detention is constitutional?
The big assumption in this case (Kansas v. Hendricks) is that there is some distinction between civil commitment and criminal imprisonment. If the Court said that involuntary commitment was criminal in nature, it would have violated the Double Jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment (because Hendricks had already been tried and convicted of his crime). However, because the Court characterized the commitment as "civil" in nature, it was able to avoid the Double Jeopardy clause altogether (because it only applies to being tried twice for the same criminal charge).
