ROME – A couple sacked by the Vatican Bank have taken their former employers to court, asking to be reinstated and to be paid damages.
The couple, Domenico Fabiani and Silvia Carlucci, on Oct. 1, 2024, were fired from the Institute of Religious Works (IOR), colloquially called the “Vatican Bank,” after getting married on Aug. 31, in violation of a new law which they said was implemented after they had already announced their plans to marry.
According to the new law, published May 2, 2024, if two employees marry, even in a canonically valid ceremony, both contracts will be terminated after 30 days, unless one of them resigns.
The law specifically states that “in order to ensure equal treatment, the celebration of a canonical marriage between an employee of the Institute and another employee of the Institute, or of other administrations of the Vatican City State, constitutes a cause for loss of hiring requirements”.
