BBC News, Madrid
A Roman Catholic bishop on the Spanish island of Tenerife has ordained a man as a Catholic priest despite the fact that he is married with two children.
The 64-year-old former Anglican pastor, David Gliwitzki, was ordained in La Laguna on the Canary Island.
The Bishop of Tenerife said the move was a unique exception within the Spanish Church.
According to Church rules, priests are supposed to be celibate. But the ordination was approved by the Pope."
