From the Vita of St Theodore of Rostov
Множество сбитого с толку народа уловив в веру Христову, не только во граде, но и в окрестных его местах. уча и наказуя старыя яко отцы, юные яко дети. и тако многими своими трудами и потом преобразовал их свирепство , преложив их из свирепых волков в кроткия агнцы.

You have to do something extreme to be excommunicated, I believe, punishment was or self-flagelation ( corporal mortification ) or some other types of less serious penance performance. Then, it is hard to believe that one person can punish many sinners a day. He, as their Father, was TELLING them what their duties were and what their punishment was.
