Catholic bishop resigns and marries satanic erotica author!
Xavier Novell is a well-known figure in Spain's Roman Catholic communities, having become Spain's youngest bishop when he took the role in 2010 at the age of 41.
Despite his relative youth, Novell was firmly traditionalist in his views, supporting so-called 'conversion therapy' for gay people-- and even carrying out multiple exorcisms.
The former bishop resigned last month, after meetings with Catholic officials and even the Pope himself-- and BBC News reports that the 'personal reasons' for his resignation is that he left the role to be with a woman.
Religión Digital revealed that Xavier Novell is now in a relationship with author Silvia Caballol, a psychologist and erotic novelist whose books include The Hell of Gabriel's Lust, and trilogy Amnesia.
Ms Caballol's novels involve themes of Satanism, sadism, lust and erotica. Spanish media reports that his high-profile resignation has caused outrage in the Catholic church, with some colleagues concerned Mr Novell may have been possessed by demons.

It's still so so weird to me that people deify these priests and others, as if they really aren't just regular people putting on an act.

The only surprise here is that he's straight.

I was just going to say, r3.
He became gaunt and sunken-eyed as he aged.

Sayanists are okay but the gays need converts therapy?

Good for him. It's the clergy version of coming out of the closet.

Hope this is the start of a trend.

Performing exorcisms. In the 21st century.
More like making troubled people’s problems worse by convincing them they are possessed by a demon.
