A former priest has got married in
Umbria, the second in the same diocese to leave the priesthood
after falling in love, Ls Nazione newspaper reported Tuesday.
David Tacchini, 40, tied the knot with an unnamed local woman,
the paper said.
Ordained in 2014, he hung up his frock a year ago, a move that
became definitive when the local bishop authorized it on May 12.
The report did not name the other priest.
But it said they had published a joint statement thanking local
parishioners for their support and denying reports they were
about to become fathers.
The diocese is in Città di Castello, one of Umbria's most
picturesque little towns with a famed work by Renaissance master
Piero della Francesco in a local church..
