    • What happens in this situation?

    A young man, in order to please his parents, enters the seminary and eventually gets ordained, He went to the whole process and motions, A few years after his ordinations, his parents tragically died in a car accident. The man had a girlfriend from before his seminary days, he wants to leave the priesthood to marry this girl. What is the process?

    This is not a real situation.
