A court in Rome has ordered an Italian wife to pay her estranged husband € 15 ,000 for the depression he suffered over her affair with a Catholic priest .
The public trial has also led to the shameful resignation of the lover priest .
The court ruling came at the end of a five - year trial and is the latest in a string of sex scandals to rock the Catholic Church in Italy .
Father Vito Isacchi , the priest named in the court case , tendered his resignation in the archdiocese of L ’Aquila on Tuesday after news of the court ruling was made public.
The woman , who has not been named , was ordered to pay thousands of euros , while 45 - year -old Father Isacchi , known as ‘ Don Vito ’, was excused from paying any compensation as the court found him “irrelevant ” to any violation of the marriage.
In a surprise ruling , the court ordered the cuckolded husband to pay €3 ,200 as a contribution towards the priest ’s sacred vestments.
The L ’ Aquila archdiocese expressed its regret and said Father Isaachi had repented for his actions ; but Isaachi resigned in a letter to the local archbishop, Monsignor Giuseppe Petrocchi , amid an outcry over the case .
“Don Vito recognises his moral responsibility and asks forgiveness for the upset and suffering caused to the religious and social community , ” the diocese said in a statement .
“In particular , he has indicated he intends to reject the payment specified by the sentence .”
Father Isacchi comes from the northern city of Bergamo and was transferred from his Rome parish to l ’Aquila, 70 miles from the capital, in 2010 after news of the scandal broke .
The court ruling found he had no responsibility to pay compensation .
“The petitioner ’ s claim against the woman must be accepted and dismissed against the defendant Isacchi , as it presupposes a violation of the obligation of fidelity in the marriage, an obligation for which the third party ( Isacchi ) is completely irrelevant ,” said the judgement , in excerpts published by Italian media .
The court sentence was issued a year ago and made final six months ago , but just came to light this week .
Lawyers for the husband have urged the church to take further action against the priest who they say has violated canon law and his vow of celibacy .
