According to a report, a few Irish nuns were arrested for violating coronavirus pandemic restrictions to attend an expulsion for Ireland’s leaders.
According to the Irish Examiner, Sister Irene Gibson and Sister Anne Marie traveled across the Emerald Isle to rule out alleged evil spirits from the President of Ireland and the nation’s major lawmakers.
But their habits violated lockdown measures, which prohibited residents from traveling more than three miles from their home, the paper reported.
The December 8th exorcism expedition from Cork to Dublin was about 135 miles.
The liberation of the Dáil Éireann – an organ of the Irish legislature – was followed by an open-air mass attended by about 70 people. Irish lockdown rules allowed no more than 15 people to congregate outside at that time.
A video of the exorcism shows Father Giacomo Ballini, of the splinter group The Society of St Pius Resistance, spraying holy water on an Irish government building as he prays for Satan to “leave this place.”
The sisters, of the Carmelites of the Holy Face of Jesus, had previously been convicted of violating planning regulations while setting up a religious retreat, the examiner said.
They were reportedly ordered from their compound because of the breach.
But the nuns won’t stay on the run – a GoFundMe site to aid the move had raised nearly $ 100,000 Monday afternoon.
Both the priest, who preaches from a farm in County Cork, and the Carmelites of the Holy Face of Jesus operate independently of the Catholic Church, the paper reports.
