If 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.

After surprising everyone last August by announcing that he was resigning as bishop of Solsona "for strictly personal reasons", Xavier Novell has already requested the necessary documentation to get married in a registry office with his partner, as reported today by the newspaper El Mundo. Novell, who has not yet given official explanations of the reasons for his resignation or his new personal situation, presented a request to get married at the Civil Registry of Súria (Bages) on October 7, according to an edict signed by the justice of the peace, Jaume Bransuela Alsina.

His eleven years as bishop in Solsona guaranteed Xavier Novell a close relationship with the social and business fabric of the Ponent region and with the local administrations in matters of heritage. Perhaps these ties with the territory are what explain why Novell, an agricultural technical engineer by training, has knocked on several doors in Pla d'Urgell to reorient his professional future when the surprise at his sudden resignation from the bishopric is still far from dying down. He has been in contact with the Cooperativa d'Ivars and other social organisations in the area. Although initially a close source indicated that it was Grup Alba, the organisation denied it in a tweet this morning, adding, however, that it would not be strange if it had done so because they have "a job placement service open to everyone".
