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...
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.
... the young woman had arrived at the remote convent three months before, having initially gone there to visit a friend and opted to stay…
...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…
"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 Daniel added.
Posted as a reminder that there is more than one religion that can be viewed as being trapped in a medieval mindset...
I thought all religions were trapped in a medieval mindset, even those dreamed up well after medieval times.
