WTF???
What is it with Tuesday mornings just being... well... Weird...Priest gets 14 years' jail for crucifying nun
Tuesday Feb 20 09:31 AEDT
A Romanian priest charged with crucifying a nun he believed was possessed by the devil has been sentenced to 14 years behind bars.
Four nuns who were found guilty of being accomplices to the exorism-turned-murder were meanwhile sentenced to between five and eight years in prison at the end of a trial in Vaslui in eastern Romania.
The five defendants were also, along with the Husi diocese in northern Romania, ordered to jointly pay 3,000 euros ($5010) in damages and interest to the victim's parents.
The nun, 23-year-old Irina Cornici of the Saint Trinity of Tanacu monastery in northeastern Romania, died after being gagged, chained to a cross and left without food or water for several days. Her body was discovered on June 15, 2005...
...According to the indictment, "the defendants have confessed to the facts during the investigation but claim they were motivated by a wish to save the victim from the evil spirits that possessed her".
The prosecutor also charged that the five had "intentionally" deprived Cornici, who suffered a psychological illness, of medical treatment.
The case sparked an outcry in Romania against the "mediaeval" practices tolerated by the Orthodox Church, to which a majority of the population belongs.
See what I mean, ignore the slap on the wrist gaol term, it's just weird that they were fined 3,000 Euros... Doesn't that seem a little on the cheap side? I mean, they CRUCIFIED A NUN!!!!

I am not normally in the habit of saying this, but I like nuns.
However, that #$@!% Sister Michelle would have been lucky to get away with just being crucified if I had have possessed the insane thoughts of that Romanian priest when I was in grade 3.
That is all.
