SEMINARY CUSTOM
UP UNTIL RECENT TIMES, JESUIT SEMINARIES ENCOURAGED
NOVICES TO PERFORM CERTAIN PRACTICES AS PENANCES. ONE
WAS TO WEAR A CHAIN WITH UNCOMFORTABLE POINTS ON IT
AROUND ONE'S THIGH FROM THE TIME OF RISING UNTIL AFTER
BREAKFAST. I HAVE SUCH A CHAIN AND ALSO ONCE HAD A
DETAILED INSTRUCTION BOOKLET ON HOW TO MAKE THEM.
A SIMILAR CUSTOM, WAS TO STRIKE ONESELF ON THE BACK
WITH A KIND OF WHIP CALLED A FLAGELLUM, WHICH WAS
MADE OF CORD ABOUT TWO FEET LONG AND KNOTTED AT THE
END. IT STUNG CONSIDERABLY IF SWUNG WITH SOME
FORCE.

SEMINARY CUSTOM
JESUIT SEMINARIES USED TO ARRANGE "LONG WALKS" FOR
THEIR NOVICES TO ENCOURAGE FRIENDLY CONVERSATION BETWEEN
THE NOVICES AND TO COMPENSATE FOR THE FACT THAT
"ROOM-VISITING" WAS NOT ALLOWED. HOWEVER, THESE LONG
WALKS WERE ALWAYS ARRANGED IN GROUPS OF THREE OR MORE,
NEVER TWO. THOSE IN CHARGE WERE CONCERNED TO
PREVENT THE FORMATION OF WHAT WERE CALLED "PARTICULAR
FRIENDSHIPS." THIS MAY HAVE BEEN TO ENSURE THAT
EVERYONE WAS EQUALLY FRIENDLY IN A SOCIALISTIC SORT
OF WAY, BUT I ALWAYS SUSPECTED THAT IT STEMMED RATHER
FROM A NAIVE FEAR OF HOMOSEXUALITY ON THE PART OF
SUPERIORS.
