Three months after Francis accepted his resignation, former Solsona Bishop, Xavier Novell, 52, married Sílvia Caballol, 38.
The civil ceremony took place on November 22 in the afternoon at the magistrate's court in Súria, a municipality located on the outskirts of Manresa, near Barcelona.
Novell, a trained agricultural engineer, found a job with Semen Cardona, a company dedicated to the artificial insemination of pigs.
According to Canon Law [which is only used to fight what is Catholic], a cleric who attempts a civil marriage incurs a latae sententiae suspension; if he doesn’t repent, he can be punished “even by dismissal from the clerical state” (1394 §1).
