The former bishop of Solsona is being tried for making a series about his forbidden love.
Silvia Caballol reveals that she has several offers from production companies but that Novell is not convinced.

BarcelonaIf something is missing in the love story of the former bishop of Solsona Xavier Novell and the his wife, Silvia Caballol, is that the couple will become the protagonists of a series. There's no shortage of elements: a conservative bishop who suddenly surprises everyone by resigning from his position to continue his life with a woman, with whom he has children. With this plot, production companies such as La Manchester (Ricard Ustrell), Minoría Absoluta (Toni Soler), Unicornio Content (Ana Rosa Quintana), and Producciones del Barrio (Jordi Évole) are tempting the couple to agree to make their relationship the plot of a television product, as Ca' herself has explained.
Be that as it may, in this publication the erotic novelist takes the opportunity to sell her story by retelling the origins of her love with the then bishop. Thus, she explains that her relationship with Novell was born like "a flower among stones," a challenge to religious conventions; a love forbidden by the Vatican that has overcome all difficulties. "Ours isn't an imported story, but one that would have happened here, in our land, in the heart of Catalonia," he asserts.
Despite the tempting offers from the production companies, the couple can't agree on the best way to handle them. In the post, Caballol confesses that Novell prefers to stay out of the way and continue with his private life. Caballol, for his part, has decided to consult his followers through a survey on his Instagram stories, to find out what they think about the possibility of turning his story into a series. "If you were in my shoes, what would you do?" he asks his followers, seeking their opinion on whether it's worth sharing his story.
"There are several issues that block us, such as privacy, thinking about those indirectly involved, the pressure we would receive to dissuade us from doing it, and our desire to lead a simple and quiet life." In any case, he also acknowledges that, in a way, there is a desire to immortalize this unusual process.
A case that has already been adapted for the stage
It's worth remembering that Novell's case had a major media impact when he left the Solsona bishopric to marry Caballol. Pope Francis later secularized the former bishop, and the couple eventually formed a family. In any case, this wouldn't be the first adaptation of his story, as Lacetània Teatre, a theater company from the capital of Solsona, premiered it three years ago. a comedy about the case.
