Answer 1

It's a Catholic thing, even when I was a Catholic I thought it was one of the most patronizing things we could do for the Christ. It sure doesn't do much for Christianity I'll tell you that.

It's a useless display of worship, and doesn't do anything for the faithful. I find it blatantly patronizing.

Answer 2

Yes, it grosses me out.

Answer 3

Don't be ignorant lol,this happens in Philippines.The Brazilians would never do stupid things like that.

Answer 4

Answer 5

this occurs in many countries .It makes people think they are closer to god by suffering the same fate as his son

Answer 6

i don't think thats right what there doing because Jesus didn't tell us to literally carry our cross. But i think they're doing this to show that they understand Him.
