Self-mutilation is in fact a sin

So is being retarded

@vhozonian How big of a carving are we talking?

It's visible

I would post a picture but it's still bleeding and I recognise some members here wouldn't want to see it

^ I guess. I'm no stranger to pain like this, I used to do worse with the whole mortification of the flesh

That's until a priest told me not to do that

I don't have a car yet.

But when I do, I'm going to be sure I don't miss mass
