Editor's Note: Real Christianity is based on the finished work of Jesus Christ ALONE! He was sent to Calvary where He died an agonizing death for you and me. For one to get closer to God by punishing himself makes a mockery of God Himself. - Bob
Book: John Paul II used belt to whip himself
VATICAN CITY - Pope John Paul II whipped himself with a belt, even on vacation, and slept on the floor as acts of penitence and to bring him closer to Christian perfection, according to a new book by the Polish prelate spearheading his sainthood case.
The book "Why He's a Saint" also includes previously unpublished speeches and documents written by John Paul, including one 1989 signed memo in which he said he would resign if he became incapacitated.
