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".

This is such a sad, horrible story. It's all over the web on all the anti-religion sites too.

I was very upset reading these stories so I'm going there too see things for myself. If this be true I'm not sure that I'm strong enough not to put him through the very same thing. Atleast I'm not a priest killing people just a regular guy upset with the wolf in sheep clothing. I wonder who is the real possessed one the nun or the priest.
