Nothing new here — if you read up on the saints, many of them practiced forms of self-mortification in reparation for the sins of others.

Thought I’d get this posted before the RC’s causused this one too. I think this is sick.

24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. 25 And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. 26 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. 27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. -- 1 Cor 9:24-27
The word translated "discipline" is hupopiadzo, "1) to beat black and blue, to smite so as to cause bruises and livid spots 1a) like a boxer one buffets his body, handle it roughly, discipline by hardships 2) metaph. 2a) to give one intolerable annoyance 2a1) beat one out, wear one out 2b) by entreaties 3) that part of the face that is under the eyes"

Where the heck did this practice begin? Christ never so much as hinted that people should whip themselves in his name. This is right up there with juggling copperheads.
Somewhere,, Christ is shaking his head in amazement at the nutty things we do in his name.
