Harsh! Spanish bishop who married author of satanic erotica is stripped of powers

Spain’s youngest bishop has been stripped of his church powers, the country’s episcopal conference said on Saturday, after he married a psychologist-turned-author of satanic erotica.

“As is publicly known, Bishop Xavier Novell Goma, bishop emeritus of Solsona, has contracted a civil marriage with Ms Silvia Caballol, on 22 November, 2021 in the town of Suria, in the province of Barcelona,” the conference wrote in the statement.

Any cleric attempting to get married, even if only civilly, is subject to suspension, the statement added

I got nothin.
