The Spanish bishop Xavier N. * (52) has resigned because he has fallen in love with an author of satanic-erotic books. That reports the BBCreferring to Spanish media.
Bishop Xavier N. announced his resignation last month. But the Roman Catholic Church gave only “personal reasons”. You did not go into detail.
She writes books about demons – he was an exorcist
Indeed “ReligiĆ³n Digital” reports that the bishop fell in love with the divorced Silvia C. * (38), a psychologist and erotic writer. She writes books about demons obsessed with lust.
The news site reported that he said, “I fell in love and want to do things right.”
The bishop was considered a hardliner in the Catholic Church. He campaigned for so-called conversion therapy for homosexuals and, according to the BBC, even carried out exorcisms. The bishop also represented traditional attitudes towards abortion.
Renegade ex-bishop met with the Pope
He reportedly met several times with Vatican officials and the Pope himself prior to his resignation. In 2010, at the age of only 41, he was appointed the youngest bishop of Spain in Solsona in the north-eastern region of Catalonia. (euc)
