But St. Augustine condemned it as "a detestable and damnable wickedness," perhaps to put a stop to a growing tendency of extremist Christians to seek instant sainthood via self-martyrdom. From the Middle Ages to the end of the 18th century in Europe, self-murder was stigmatized by the full force of church and state-a suicide's property was confiscated, his body was dragged through the streets and buried...
