'Possessed' nun crucified after row with priest
"A Romanian Orthodox priest who faces a murder charge after ordering the crucifixion of a young nun because she was 'possessed by the devil' was unrepentant as he conducted a funeral mass for his alleged victim.

Father Daniel Corogeanu, 29, said that the nun had been 'possessed by the devil' and was 'beyond salvation' in life.

He claimed 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.'"
