Not every hero wears a cape. It was using a cassock that Chrystian Shankar, a priest from the Diocese of Divinópolis (MG), avoided a probable disaster between a couple in the interior of Minas Gerais. After identifying bad signs in the relationship, he advised a bride to end the relationship, and she followed his advice.
The wedding was canceled after the intervention of a priest who advised the bride about the conditions imposed by her partner for the union.
The case gained repercussion after the priest’s report on the couple’s dynamics during the period of confession and preparation for marriage.
