English term or phrase: corporal mortification
Opus Dei – the alleged ‘villain’ of The Da Vinci Code – is a powerful and controversial Catholic organisation. Journalist and ex-monk Mark Dowd tackles popular perception, investigates criticism and goes inside Opus Dei itself to untangle fact from fiction. Mark’s journey begins at Opus Dei’s multimillion dollar New York HQ – a key location for Dan Brown’s novel where he undertakes a quick audit of the influence of Opus Dei worldwide through its educational and humanitarian projects. In the U.K. a “numerary” member of this organisation, Eileen, talks of her life and dedication to Opus Dei and shows Mark the controversial “cilice” used in corporal mortification.
