I know that movie. He was with the Indians. That was a pretty intense film.saltydog said:I remember a scene from a movie . . . what was it . . . this Benedict monk, in the new world, early 1600's. He stumbled upon a couple having sex in the bushes. He walked away and found a good-sized branch, took off his robe and began flogging himself, the blood dripping from his back.

There are certainly a lot of Christian Monks and priests who have no idea how to handle the celibacy, and they go crazy like that. They'd be a lot better off giving up and getting married. I have met monks and priests, though, who were absolutely not crazy, and were pretty formidable, disciplined people.
