Pope saddened by nuns who tied knot (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, October 7 - Pope Francis has been saddened by the news of two nuns, one Italian and one South American, who tied the knot in a hush-hush civil union at Pinerolo near Turin on September 28, Vatican Deputy Secretary of State Msgr Angelo Becciu said Friday. "How much sadness on the Pope's face when I read him the news of the two 'married' nuns!" Becciu tweeted.
    Rome daily La Repubblica carried an interview Friday with the pair, Federica, 44, and Isabel, 40, who said they had fallen in love while missionaries in Guinea-Bissau and had decided against the "convenient but false" choice of living together in a convent, as they said other nuns in love did.
