welcome to another episode of fringe beyond limits Hi guys, Frank here. And tonight we're taking a slightly different path into the unknown. One of the things I've always appreciated about podcasting is that no matter where you are in the world, there are people asking the same questions we ask here. People who are digging through history, investigating mysteries, uncovering strange stories, and searching for the details that most people overlook. That's why I'm excited to share tonight's episode with you. This is part of a special episode swap with the Compendium Podcast, hosted by Kyle Riese and Adam Cox. If you're not familiar with their show, Kyle and Adam have built something truly unique. They take fascinating real-world stories from dark history and true crime to unbelievable events and forgotten mysteries and peel back the layers to reveal the details hiding behind
Beneath the Service. Their style is a thoughtful, well-searched, and driven by the same curiosity that fuels all of us who spend our nights wondering if there's more to the story than we've been told. So tonight, we're stepping aside and handing the microphone over to Kyle and Adam. As you listen, I encourage you to do what we always do here on Fringe Beyond Limits. Question assumptions, follow the evidence, explore every possibility. Because sometimes the most incredible stories aren't the ones we invent. They're the ones that actually happened. If you enjoy what you hear, be sure to check out the Compendium podcast. and show Kyle and Adam some support. Independent creators thrive because of listeners like you, and every follow, review, and share helps keep these stories alive.
Thank you, as always, for being part of this incredible community. Now, dim the lights, settle in, and prepare for a journey into one of the many fascinating stories found under the compendium's circus tent. I'll see you on the other side. This is Fringe Beyond Limits, and tonight, the story belongs to Kyle and Adam.
So at this convent, it was Sister Maria that was in charge, and she got into trouble for being too, and I quote, worldly for religious life.
Oh, okay. She had her own thoughts.
She had her own thoughts, yeah. So the church didn't like the fact that she was pulling up to local churches to deliver communion hosts in her Mercedes-Benz while smoking a thin cigar.
I have to ask just real quick, what is a communion host? What do they give communion? Oh, she was a communion host.
Oh, she was?
Yeah, sorry. Ooh. The new communion host is a pimp.
Welcome to The Compendium, an assembly of fascinating and intriguing things. If you're tuning in for the very first time, then we are a weekly variety podcast. But each week, Kyle Riese normally tells me, Adam Cox, everything he thinks I need to know about a topic that I will find both fascinating and intriguing. We cover stories from darker corners of true crime, historical events and incredible people. We will give you just enough information to stand your ground at any social gathering. But today, I'm back in the driving seat. I'm your host, Adam Cox. And I'm your co-host, Kyle Riese. And in today's episode of The Compendium, we're exploring how hell hath no fury like a Belgian nun scorned.
Hell hath no fury like a Belgian nun scorned. Yeah. Are we talking about nuns today?
We're talking about nuns.
Are we going to the Catholic Church?
We are, yeah. We're talking about a group of nuns in Belgium that did some interesting but funny stuff.
Oh, my God.
This is a mainstream story, is it? It is. We're diving into a tale that sounds like it is straight out of a 90s comedy heist movie. But it's all true, I assure you. The year is 1990, and it was a pretty significant year. NASA launched the Hubble Space Telescope. The Baltic states declared independence from the Soviet Union. Nelson Mandela was released from prison after 27 years. demolition of the Berlin Wall had started, and just as impressive as all those things, it's also the year that eight nuns in a Belgian coven decided it's time to shake things up and go on the run.
