Masochistic?

EDIT: Just checked the dictionary and I'm thinking that's not it.

Non-sexual. The character punishes himself because of a sin. He gouges his eyes out. (Oedipus).

Flagellation. One of my personal favorites. :evil:

 

[PieIsAwesome]

Ascetic?

Well I don't think masochism necessarily has to be sexual, although it looks like it's the top entry in the dictionary.

Penance or atonement?

 

[SociallyChallenged]

Self-depricating?

That word don't really denote a specific religious aspect, though.

Bingo.

This word works for Oedipus, I hope.

Hmm, possibly, or mortification maybe.

 

[SlickSnake]

According to wiki: Mortification of the flesh literally means "putting the flesh to death". The term is primarily used in religious and spiritual contexts. The institutional and traditional terminology of this practice in Catholicism is corporal mortification.

Which would include gouging out ones eyes, I would think.

Did you even bother looking that one up? It's more or less similar to anarchist.
