Priest who crucified nun unrepentant

From correspondents in Tanacu, Romania
June 18, 2005

A ROMANIAN Orthodox priest who ordered the crucifixion of a young nun because she was "possessed by the devil" and now faces murder charges was unrepentant today after he celebrated a funeral mass.

"God has performed a miracle for her, finally Irina is delivered from evil," Father Daniel, 29, the superior of the Holy Trinity monastery in north-eastern Romania, said.

He insisted that from the religious point of view, the crucifixion of Maricica Irina Cornici, 23, was "entirely justified", but admitted that he faced excommunication as well as prosecution, and was seeking a "good lawyer".

Sister Cornici was found dead on Thursday, gagged and chained to a cross after fellow nuns called an ambulance, according to police, who said she had entered the monastery just three months before, after visiting a friend who was a nun there.

1. More crucifixions on the horizon?
"...but a spokesman for the Orthodox patriarchate in Bucharest refused to condemn it.

"I don't know what this young woman did," Bogdan Teleanu said.


:wtf: Which means crucifixions are evidently acceptable punishment for certain crimes.......like maybe priests buggering children??? What say you, Bogdan?

Add this to the "Would an atheist ever do this?" file. It's getting to be a pretty big file.

3. "I don't know what this young woman did,"
Holy mother of fuck! Suppose she was blowing Satan on the church altar, does that justify torture and murder? Lemme answer: no. Sounds like this priest has some "issues" with women.

Yeah, she's free from the evil of the church.
