I'm fairly sure I heard Federal Opposition leader Tony Abbott say on ABC TV once on a show about Opus Dei that he wore a Cilice. I may be wrong because I couldn't find a reference to it online. The name Cilice come From St Silas that I think wore a hair shirt for penance blah blah blah. while I was looking around I found some references to a few different types of Cilice that you see can see in the pics above and find out more about in the links below.
