And a hardcover NKJV while I was at it for Masoretic Text and Textus Receptus

Western Rome got ruined for a lot of reasons. Mostly elites screwed over the empire in all sorts of ways.

Good to hear our Swede chaps have the TLM

Prayers and whatnot for our Scandy chaps

What's your guys' thoughts on the rite of mortification of the flesh? Pic related.

The constantly whipping yourself is obviously just some sadomasochistic demon bullshit

Lol it exists in Eastern Orthodog tradition too

My understanding is that it's far less of a thing in the eastern tradition because our monks actually fast

The flesh is mortified with fasting, vigil, obedience, other things like that primarily

Well, I mean, first off, our monks fast too. Secondly, I know the Orthodox Church accepts the practices of the early Church, and the early Syrian monks did practice mortification of the flesh, not by using a discipline (a flog, basically) but by wearing hair-shirts or sack-cloths. Heck, it was actually a regular practice in the Old Testament religion as well.

I distinctly remember hearing something from a fellow parishioner about an orthodox monk who visited a catholic monestary and was in his cell praying, when he was disturbed from prayer by the sounds of the whips, and saw how the monks didn't keep any fast except for fish friday, and ate pretty normal/extravagant by monastic standards food

I'd have to get a source for the story

Asked him on fb

What Order was it supposed to be?

I'll have to let you know when I get a reply

k

Back on topic though, do you think something's wrong with hair-shirts even?

never mind, I'm going to bed now actually

I'd have to do more thinking about it, since there is a place for increasing the hardship that a monastic goes through to increase their sanctity, and for some wearing a hair-shirt would be the right thing to do, but in general those methods of asceticism seem a bit extreme and prone to inflate one's pride

In particular the excessive flagellation when you don't have a solid foundation of prayer, fasting, vigil, etc

But I'm not a monastic and I don't run a monastery

So my opinion doesn't even matter here

Self flagellation...?

summary: it's bad because catholics.
