A court has ordered a fake nun not to come within 150 yards of a monastery after reportedly making 'false' claims about god before writhing about on the church's altar.
Rachel Mulcahy has been served with an interim injunction after complaints from priests about her erratic behaviour.
She has been told to keep away from Clonard Monastery, a Catholic church located in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The woman disrupted services on a regular basis and annoyed the elderly, it was claimed.
She now says she is praying for the church's parishioners following her exile. An application for a full injunction will be heard at Laganside court later this month.
She told Sunday Life: “Yes, a court has banned me from going near Clonard.
“I am praying for the souls of the parishioners and the priests. I’m praying for you too. I’m going to need some time to consider this before deciding to speak further.”
But she later wrote a letter explaining her love for Jesus.
”I’m in love. Head over heels. I can’t stop it," she said.
"I love Jesus Christ so much that all I can think about is him. There is no-one else I can think about only him. I adore him. I never ever want to be away from him.”
Sources who claim to have knowledge of the interim injunction say the woman made elderly church goers feels uncomfortable.
“She was showing up at services in Clonard dressed in a brown habit, even though she is not a nun,” an insider explained to the publication.
“Her behaviour was exactly the same, throwing her arms in the air, making all sorts of wild claims about God, and then writhing about on the altar.
“At first the staff at Clonard ignored her, but when it showed no sign of ending they had to do something, so that’s why they went for the interim injunction,” added our source.
“The congregation would be quite elderly and they felt intimidated by Ms Mulcahy’s behaviour. They just want to be left alone to pray in peace.”
