"The Illuminati Order was preceded in the 1500's in Spain by the 'Alumbrados', a Christian heresy started by crypto Jews called 'Marranos'. The founder of the Jesuit Order, Ignatius of Loyola, was a Marrano / Alumbrado. Thus, when people today argue whether it is the Jesuits or Zionists or Illuminati who are responsible for our troubles, they are really talking about the same beast." ~ Henry Makow

St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), practiced and promoted self-flagellation as a form of spiritual discipline and penance—especially during his early years of conversion. Here's a breakdown of what was used, how often it was done, and whether other Jesuits practiced it as well:

What Was Used for Self-Flagellation?

Scourges or whips: Often made of knotted cords, leather straps, or small chains.

Some penitents used disciplines (a specific type of whip for spiritual mortification).

In extreme cases, some used whips with small metal or bone tips, though this was more common in certain medieval practices than in Jesuit usage.

St. Ignatius Loyola practiced it frequently in his early years of spiritual conversion, especially during his retreat at Manresa (1522–23). He saw suffering as a way to imitate Christ and purify the soul.

The practice was not formally required by the Jesuit order after its foundation in 1540.

Early Jesuits often practiced self-flagellation privately, typically on Fridays (to commemorate Christ’s Passion) or during Lent.

It was more common in the 16th century and gradually faded in regular practice as the order matured and emphasized mental prayer, education, and missionary work.

Francis Xavier and others also engaged in severe penances, though often quietly and privately.

Flagellation was seen as a voluntary act, not a requirement.

Over time, the Jesuits emphasized spiritual exercises, discernment, and intellectual rigor more than physical mortification.

Context in Jesuit Spirituality:

Ignatius’s Spiritual Exercises include meditations on sin and suffering, but they don’t mandate physical mortification.

The Jesuits discouraged excesses in self-punishment. As the order became more involved in education, diplomacy, and global missions, moderation and discretion were encouraged.

Instruments Used for Self-Flagellation

Discipline (Flagrum)

A short whip with multiple cords or thongs.

Often made of leather, rope, or knotted cords.

Some had knots, small metal beads, or sharp tips to increase pain.

Cords or Ropes

Tied in knots to create impact.

Sometimes soaked in saltwater before use to make the wounds sting and prevent quick healing (a traditional ascetic method).

Chains (rare but documented)

Light metal chains used instead of rope by more extreme penitents.

These could leave bruises and cuts and were usually reserved for more severe penance.

Hairshirts (related, not flagellation but mortification)

Made of rough animal hair or coarse fabric (like goat hair).

Worn under clothing to irritate the skin continuously as a form of humility and penance.

Use Among Jesuits

Not required, but some members practiced it voluntarily.

Typically done:

Privately, in their rooms or during private prayer.

On Fridays (to commemorate Christ’s Passion).

During Lent, or before receiving the Eucharist.

Spiritual Reason

Jesuits, like other Catholic ascetics, viewed the practice as:

A way to imitate Christ’s suffering.

A method for disciplining the flesh, purging sin, or avoiding temptation.

An expression of penance and humility.

Mortification comes from the Latin mortificare, meaning “to put to death.” In Christian spiritual practice, especially in Catholic traditions like the Jesuits, mortification refers to the act of subduing or disciplining the body, desires, or will for spiritual purposes.

Mortification can take several forms:

Physical Mortification

Acts that cause bodily discomfort or pain to discipline the body.

Examples:

Fasting

Self-flagellation

Wearing a hairshirt

Sleeping on the floor

Cold showers or discomfort for penance

Interior (Spiritual) Mortification

The more important form in Jesuit spirituality.

Involves:

Denying one's ego, pride, or selfish desires

Practicing obedience, humility, and detachment

Training the will to align with God’s will

This is central to Ignatius of Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises.

Key Purpose

Mortification is not about self-harm for its own sake. It’s about:

Spiritual purification

Detachment from worldly or sinful inclinations

Growing in virtue, discipline, and union with God

Jesuit View on Mortification

St. Ignatius of Loyola practiced severe mortifications in his early years.

Later, he and his successors emphasized moderation:

Interior mortification was considered superior to external practices.

Physical mortifications were acceptable if done discreetly, safely, and under spiritual guidance.

Opus Dei, a Catholic institution founded in 1928 by St. Josemaría Escrivá, encourages its members to seek holiness through their everyday lives. Some members, particularly celibate numeraries and associates, voluntarily practice traditional forms of corporal mortification as spiritual disciplines.

Cilice: The Thigh-Worn Device

A cilice is a small, light metal chain with inward-pointing spikes worn around the upper thigh. Its purpose is to serve as a physical reminder of Christ’s suffering and to foster spiritual discipline.

Usage: Typically worn for about two hours each day, except on Sundays and certain feast days.

Design: The cilice is designed to cause discomfort without causing injury or bleeding.

Discipline: The Whip Used for Penance

The discipline is a small scourge or whip made of knotted cords, used as an instrument of penance. It is employed in the practice of mortification of the flesh.

Usage: Some celibate members of Opus Dei use the discipline once a week for a minute or two, typically during private prayer.

Design: The discipline is made of woven cotton string and weighs less than two ounces.

Purpose and Context

Opus Dei teaches that these practices are voluntary and should be undertaken with spiritual guidance. They are intended to help members grow in humility, resist self-centeredness, and unite their personal sacrifices with the sufferings of Christ. These practices are part of a broader tradition within the Catholic Church, historically used by various saints and religious figures.

Members of Opus Dei, particularly those who are celibate numeraries, practice a form of corporal mortification by wearing a device known as a cilice.

What Is a Cilice?

A cilice is a small metal chain with inward-pointing spikes, worn tightly around the upper thigh. Its purpose is to cause discomfort as a form of penance and spiritual discipline, serving as a physical reminder of Christ's suffering.

How Is It Used?

Duration: Typically worn for about two hours each day, excluding Sundays and certain feast days.

Design: The cilice is designed to cause discomfort without causing injury or bleeding.

Usage: Worn discreetly under clothing during daily activities.

Purpose and Context

The practice of wearing the cilice is rooted in a long tradition of corporal mortification within the Catholic Church. It is intended to help members grow in humility, resist self-centeredness, and unite their personal sacrifices with the sufferings of Christ. Opus Dei emphasizes that such practices are voluntary and should be undertaken with spiritual guidance. Opus Dei

The Titanic was Sunk to Create the US Federal Reserve. The sinking of the Titanic has always been an event surrounded by a great deal of mystery. The cause of the demise of the ‘unsinkable’ vessel has been questioned and analyzed for nearly 100 years. Many have concluded that the Titanic tragedy was caused by sinister events and that the sinking of the famous vessel was well planned, well executed, and orchestrated. The Federal Reserve was installed as part of the Federal Reserve Act in December of 1913, roughly one year and eight months after the Titanic tragedy. World War I was ignited less than a year later. *********************************************
