Xavier Novell, bishop of Catalonia, Spain, abruptly announced his resignation last month, and as the youngest bishop in Spain's history, he is seen as a rising star of the Roman Catholic Church despite his more radical stance on issues such as "homosexuality" and "Catalan independence." Regarding Norville's sudden departure, the church did not give a specific reason at the time, so it led to a lot of speculation.
(In 2010, the 41-year-old Norville was appointed regional bishop.)
The real reason for his departure was revealed a few days ago, and to everyone's surprise, the reason for leaving was that the 52-year-old had fallen in love with Silvia Caballol, an erotic novelist known for his depiction of Satan, and his contact with Kavalol was due to the fact that he wanted to learn more about demons for the purpose of exorcism.
in Norville and Cavalore
When this result came out, the whole church felt unbelievable, and some even thought that he had been invaded by demons, and even Pope Francis twice proposed to exorcise him personally. Because Norville had previously been known for his radical conservative stance, he supported "homosexual conversion therapy," arguing that sexual orientation could be changed through religious rituals, and he insisted on practicing traditional exorcism rituals in the church. It was to improve his understanding of exorcism that he became acquainted with 38-year-old psychologist and erotic novelist Cavallo. Cavalloor, who has written books such as Gabriel's Hell of Desire and the Amnesia trilogy, shows the confrontation between the attraction of love and the moral norms of society by subverting moral and ethical concepts.
Her love story with Norville seems to have an unexpected coincidence with her work. Because according to canon law, serving as a pastor requires swearing celibacy to God as proof of full service to God.
Norville himself had previously admitted that when he was 22 years old, he had fallen in love with an 18-year-old girl who wanted to leave the church to marry and have children, and then for various reasons he finally chose to become a pastor and gave up the relationship. It may have been the result of this experience that led him to fall in love with Kavalore again, and eventually gave up his position as a church to become an expert in agronomy.
(Pope Francis was retained twice, but he refused))
In the face of the interview, the church has always stressed that "whether it is true or not, it is entirely his personal business." ”
Norville's love story tells us that when you are young, people's choices often determine their lives for decades to come, but when they make choices, they don't really know if this life is what you really want. Nouvel was undoubtedly lucky, he was given the opportunity to choose again, and resolutely chose the path that he had buried in his heart for many years. His story is over, just like Cavalol's characters, in the conflict between feelings and social pressures and moral norms, choose to have a good relationship life.
I don't know if you had similar regrets when you were young, and have you ever thought about changing? But even if you have more regrets, cherish the life in front of you, because this is also the choice you have been unswerving.
