Whipping and cutting yourself is most definitely not a catholic tradition, just like protesting military funerals like Westboro Baptist Church isn't a baptist tradition.
You can't put the spotlight on a few freaks and attribute their behavior to the whole. That's true with religion (radical jihadists vs all muslims), police (few bad apples vs police as a whole) etc.

A few buddy?
Heres just one Catholic organization that preaches exactly the doctrine I spoke of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_Dei
100,000 strong (actual figure is classified again and secret as of 2009ish), many of which are in powerful positions within the Church (many clergy, many priests, even some bishops) and spread and promote their agenda. I'd say a total of at least 200 million are affected by this faction's doctrine alone world wide.
They are the Catholic Church and have standing and recognition within the Church.
Bad fucking analogy with the Westboro Baptist Church. Fucking bad. Not even remotely close.
P.S. When I say "even some bishops" its not just a few..

I can't even care to count them. Over 30 bishops of the Catholic Church. Yeah, I'll stick with my 200 million figure as a reach that this doctrine has.
You are being incredibly ignorant and naïve here. Try doing some actual research and reading and get some facts before speaking about something you are apparently clueless on.
