Andy9o8 3 #3 December 17, 2009 Ah, but his kind are still not safe. QuoteJealous Nun Shoots Priest for Seeing Another Woman A jealous nun appeared in court charged with threats to kill and an arson attack on a priest's house - after she caught him in bed with a married woman. Sister Silvia Gomes De Sousa, 39, saw red and set fire to Father Carmelo Mantarro's house after she nabbed him 'in flagrante.' The furious nun - who was also Father Carmelo's cleaner - was also armed with a machete and threatened to kill the priest before being restrained by passers by. […] The drama happened in the sleepy Italian village of Roccalumera near Messina on the island of Sicily and was the talk of the nation as it dominated TV and radio news programmes. The saucy goings on were made even more interesting by father Carmelo's age - he is 70 years old - and is said to have been sleeping with both sister De Sousa and the other woman for several months. […] She told the hearing: "I just flipped when I came to the house and caught him in bed with another woman who is married. "We had been together four years and I had even had two abortions because of him." http://wafflinganglican.blogspot.com/2006/09/jealous-nun-shoots-priest-for-seeing.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"We had been together four years and I had even had two abortions because of him." As I have always suspected, guns aren't dangerous as long as they are not in the hands of crazy people. "Your application to buy the gun was rejected on grounds of mental defect." "I've never been diagnosed as having mental problems." "No, but under 'sex', you checked the 'f' box."
