Whoa, Pope John Paul II beat himself with belt to get a taste of Jesus's suffering.
See this News Item
Along with the pope, plenty of monks or other religion practicioners hurt themselves for reglious reasons.
Um, Mr. Pope, Jesus has done that, SO that you don't have to!
Suggestion to current and future popes: how about do active helpful things such as feed the hungry, cloth the naked, visit people in jail (Matthew 25)
How about be more active as peacemaker (see the sermon on the mount, come on, just flip a few pages on N.T.).
But would anyone listen? Ok that's another thing.
I just feel anyone on earth has better things to do than beating themselves.
