(Probably it's the garter:)
Opus Dei, which (newly named Archbishop Jose Gomez) joined in 1978, is seen as one of the most devout of all the Catholic groups. Some of its priests practise self-flagellation while praying to the Virgin Mary and also wear a cilice – a spiked garter – to help them to mortify the flesh and avoid sexual sins.
None of the 2,000 priests of Opus Dei, which has the status of a “personal prelature” of the Pope, has ever been embroiled in a sexual scandal.
