Federica and Isabel fell in love three years during a mission in South America.
They belonged to the Franciscan order, which follows the disciplines of Saint Francis of Assisi.
However, they were forced to give up their place in the order after they fell in love, as the Catechism continues to teach that homosexuality is ‘disordered’.
“God wants people to be happy,” Federica told La Stampa.
“We call upon our church to welcome all people who love each other.”
The wedding took place in the northern town of Pinerolo yesterday, after the pair were forced to adjust their plans to protect their privacy.
They also received a religious blessing from ex-priest Franco Barbero, who left the church after he challenged its approach to the LGBT community
He described Federica and Isabel’s story as “like all the love stories in the world”.
I don't get it how they can still follow book that is against their relationship. They are cheery-picking it just so they could convince themselfs into beliving in that stuff.
Mexican press does it all the time.
