Flagellants were popular during the Black Plague that swept across Europe. They were eventually stomped out and persecuted by the Pope's decree. These acts of public mutilation have been used in the past to garner a cult following that would get out of hand and lead to debauchery and murder. Christ died on the cross for our sins-- he was never meant to be imitated.
