By now, "church marriage" is possible for anyone and anything in Germany. Heinen is a failed religious. Three times he was Superior General of the Franciscan Friars of the Holy Cross, founded in Germany.
After 42 years of religious life and a decade of a double life, he entered into a civil "marriage" with a certain Beate in 2020. Since then he has been touring the lascivious and laughing oligarchic media, selling his story under the headline "Monk Marries Nun".
As a reward, "the Church" has now granted him an official "marriage", which Heinen is trying to capitalise on with the book "When Nun & Monk Find Love".
Beate has a daughter. More than fifty years ago (1963-1974), she was in a Benedictine convent without ever taking final vows.
Heinen had known her for three years when he became Superior General for the third time.
The 78-year-old told the likewise lascivious Katholisch.de (2 September): "That meant waiting another six years [for hot love]".
