I am catholic, so is my family and an awful lot of people in this area. Not once have I met someone who practiced self whipping or cutting. Not once.

Opus Dei and self whipping aren't synonymous either you know.

Where do people get these ideas anyway?

BTW, I'm of the belief that the roman catholic and greek orthodox churches are the only two true churches, along with (to a point) the anglican church which split from rome but can otherwise trace most of if not all of their ordinations back to the founding of the christian church, and some of the other ancient sects in the near and far east. All these other churches grew out of the squabbling of people who all thought they had the correct interpretation of the bible after the Reformation. Crazily some still have grudges against catholics today. I hear that nonsense a lot.

oh wow a catholic is up his own butt about dogmatic purity

never seen that before!
