yet another: Incredible story !!!!!

Father says the nun's death was justified

A Romanian nun has died after being bound to a cross, gagged and

left alone for three days in a cold room in a convent, Romanian

police have said.

Members of the convent in north-east Romania claim Maricica Irina

Cornici was possessed and that the crucifixion had been part of an

exorcism ritual.

Cornici was found dead on the cross on Wednesday after fellow nuns

called an ambulance, according to police.

A priest and four nuns were charged with imprisonment leading to

death.

Orphan

Police say the 23-year-old nun, who was denied food and drink

throughout her ordeal, had been tied and chained to the cross and a

towel pushed into her mouth to smother any sounds.

A post-mortem is to be carried out, although initial reports say

that Cornici died from asphyxiation.

I don't understand why journalists are making such a fuss about

this

Father

Local media reports that the young woman had arrived at the remote

convent three months before, having initially gone there to visit a

friend and opted to stay.

She grew up in an orphanage in Arad, in the west of Romania.

Mediafax news agency said Cornici suffered from schizophrenia and

the symptoms of her condition caused the priest at the convent and

other nuns to believe she was possessed by the devil.

" They all said she was possessed and they were trying to cast out

the evil spirits, " police spokeswoman a Straub said.

Father who is accused of orchestrating the crime is said to

be unrepentant.

" God has performed a miracle for her, finally Irina is delivered

from evil, " AFP quoted the priest as saying.

" I don't understand why journalists are making such a fuss about

this. Exorcism is a common practice in the heart of the Romanian

Orthodox church and my methods are not at all unknown to other

priests, " Father added.

If found guilty of killing Cornici, Father and the accused

nuns could face 20 years in jail.
