Anglicans think women can be ordained. They lay hands on women to be bishops. Back when I was Anglican, we traditionalist Anglicans jokingly called it “laying hands on hairspray.” ^_^

OK, it sounded at first glance like they were actually laying hands on like AquaNet or something. This is much better hahaha

The self flagellation thing was a joke, indicating I felt bad about making Holy Communion look like a comedy of errors. And, yes this is all true.....what a strange thing to make up? Just randomly ask for advice on what to do with a stained mask that doesn't exist.....???

Anyway, I've text my priest to ask him what he wants me to do.

ETA: but thank you for the last paragraph, I'm glad to know even monks goof up :)
Has self-flagellation ever being used as penance in the Orthodox Church?

not in any official capacity (like if you do x sin, you need to do 30 lashes), and not because our fallen nature is naturally wicked. however, stuff like that has been used to subdue the passions.
