"I don't understand why journalists are making such a fuss about this. Exorcism is a common practise in the heart of the Romanian Orthodox church and my methods are not at all unknown to other priests," he said.
While there are rites for exorcism in the Eastern Orthodox Church, I can safely say that crucifixion is not EVER an acceptable method of exorcism. Its not even in the ballpark. Its sheer lunacy. This man's (not "priest's") actions are ABOMINABLE and do not reflect the beliefs and practices of 99.99% of Orthodox Christians.
I pray for the repose of the soul of the young woman, and I pray that the "priest" repent and realize how far he has strayed from Christ's message. He should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
I am very, very grieved to read this.
