    (ANSA) - Orvieto, December 1 - An aspiring priest has killed himself after the Vatican cancelled his ordination, his bishop said Wednesday.

    Luca Seidita, 29, threw himself from a rocky outcrop in this central Italian hilltown Tuesday, shortly after learning that the Holy See had decided not to elevate him from his position as deacon.

    Local media reported there had been "murmurings" he might be gαy but Orvieto Bishop Giovanni Scanavino ruled this out.

    "There were only some issues about friends of his," Msgr Scanavino said.

    "For me, he was ready to be a priest, but the Vatican said he wasn't mature enough," the prelate said.

    Police said Seidita left a note saying he was taking his own life because of the Vatican decision.

    "I wanted to become a priest and all my life was devoted to that," he wrote.

    "I am fragile and I ask for forgiveness," Seidita added.

    Bishop Scanavino said Seidita's receiving a fax on Monday cancelling the ordination had been "an absolute drama" for the young man from Lecce in Puglia.

    The bishop quoted Deacon Seidita as saying, "over and over again": "What have I done, tell me what I've done".

    One can only hope and pray that the nightmare does not begin to overtake priestly members of SSPX.  So many young priests with no experience in the world and seemingly, in some cases, lacking the ability and maturity to look objectively and dispassionately at the growing prolems in their own priestly fraternity.

    Yes, even if not suicidal despair. The the number of frustrated, lost, and perverted vocations must be frightenly large.

  • First I ever heard that the Vatican had anything to do with
    a priestly ordination.
    I thought that it is the decision of the local Bishop who,
    or who will not be ordained.
    Looking at the picture of this 29 year old Man, he was
    very clean cut. Did not look like a liberal, or radical.
    I cannot imagine a conservative committing ѕυιcιdє.
    It must be the type of catholic education that he received
    that lacked so much spiritual and doctrinal teachings,
    and guidance.
    In life, we have all had defeats. In my life, I had my
    share of defeats. I lived with them, and life goes on.
    Years ago, I wanted to become a Religious Brother.
    I got weeded out because I was to Conservative.
    I perhaps served the Church better in the Lay
    State.
