Newscaster Says: "That didn't hurt at all!"

Here is an interesting news item that ran last year ahead of the hype for The DaVinci Code that is actually quite interesting as it discusses mortification, as well as a funny scene where a fellow hits one of the CNN "talking heads" with the discipline.

Anyway, if you are interested in Opus Dei and have only heard the rumors of "brutal beatings" and hush-hush secrecy, this video is a good place to start on the road toward a true fair-and-balanced look (to quote a certain news agency).
