Romanian Monk, Four Nuns Charged With Murder in Exorcism Death of Nun

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) - A Romanian monk and four nuns have been charged with murder after a nun died during an exorcism in which she was crucified and left without food for three days, a prosecutor said Thursday.


The case has caused an outrage in Romania. Daniel Petre Corogeanu, the detained monk, has been defiant, insisting he was trying to take the devils out of 23-year-old Maricica Irina Cornici.

She died last week in a northeast Romania convent after she was bound to a cross, had a towel stuffed into her mouth and left without food for three days, prosecutors say. snip

The monk told the TV station he was trying to take the devil out of the nun.

"You can't take the devil out of people with pills," he said. "You cure (possession by) the devils with fasting and prayer."

1. Hey, they got the devil out didn't they?
I mean, sure, the nun died, but they rid the world of an evil demon. Doesn't that count for something?

2. ignorant superstitious dumbasses
this kind of stuff just makes my blood boil.
the world would have been SO much better without organized religion at any time in history: no burnings at the stake, no Inquisition, no Crusades, no obnoxious proselytizing "christians," no holy wars, etc. etc.

4. For those of faith, no explanation is necessary.
For those of no faith, no explanation will suffice.
