Tanacu, Romania - 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 on Saturday as he celebrated a funeral mass for his alleged victim.
"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 before celebrating a short mass "for the soul of the deceased", in the presence of 13 nuns who showed no visible emotion.
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".
Is the whole world getting more wingnutty, or was this sort of thing happening 10 and 20 years ago and we just weren't paying attention?
There comes a point when the wingnuttery is immeasurable. We passed that three exits back.
And what's up in UK? I saw something about some cultish gookety stuff there, too.
What. The. Fuck. Is. Wrong. With. PEOPLE???
Then there's that whole "stupidity" thing....
Funny, I was going to say Righteousness.
I think a picture of priest nailing a nun to a cross because *he* thinks *she* is evil, ought to be in the dictionary, next to
sin.
We read it on the internet, so it must be true. And, you know, let's assume the possession for a moment, because how often can we do that, in polite conversation. That's some theology there, huh? Kill someone in a state of sin, rather than try to help them out of it.

I guess I can't quite be devil's advocate here, but ... better dead and in the arms of her God, than infected by Satan?
