A woman has kicked her husband out of
the family home in order to pursue a relationship with a local
priest on Ischia, local media reported Friday.
The man was ejected from the home just before Christmas, they
said.
The love story features a 58-year-old parish priest and a
35-year-old housewife, who met in church.
After a while, a relationship began that, according to some
witnesses, has been going on for some time.
The diocese of Ischia is not officially commenting on the
incident at the moment, but has announced that the priest has
decided to suspend himself from religious functions and that the
bishop, Monsignor Carlo Villano, hopes that the situation can be
resolved.
In 2018, also on Ischia, a similar case occurred when another
priest began a relationship with a young woman who attended his
church and who then became pregnant.
After being suspended "a divinis" (indefinitely), the man
abandoned his cassock.
