Apotheoun Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 If John Paul II did perform acts of corporal mortification it is a private matter between him and God.
Saint Therese Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 That's an interesting comment since types and number of physcial mortifications are almost always included in hagiography.

Guadalupe84 Posted December 1, 2009 Posted December 1, 2009 [quote name='Era Might' date='24 November 2009 - 09:00 AM' timestamp='1259067648' post='2008502'] The point to keep in mind is that John Paul's penances, whatever they were, were [i]private[/i]. His life didn't revolve around penances, nor did he try to push his penances onto other people. So my response to this story is, "Oh, interesting." That's it. [/quote] I agree. Personal corpral penance should be between an individual and God. I believe [b][i]as long as the sanctity of the body is remembered and respected during this form of prayer[/i][/b], it is alright. Allowing ourselves to become uncomfortable everyonce and awhile reminds us of how Christ became so small that he sunk to humiliation for the sake of us.

Nihil Obstat Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 You've probably never seen a broadcast before because 99% of the camera and broadcast equipment in Canada is from the advent of television and isn't compatible with American technology. The other 1% of used by hockey, because Americans like that too.
