It depends on what you mean by "mortification." Fasting is good; literally beating yourself is bad.

This is totally freaky to me.
Why would someone want to hurt themselves for no reason? If they are trying to atone for sin then it is dead wrong. Jesus already did that. If you want pain as a Christian go to a Mosque and and declare that Jesus is Lord.

I believe it is a racist, sexist and homophobic practice that overlooks all the good that a private and a lieutenant do.
