The ordained Catholic priest defected to the Catholic Charismatic church, a Roman Catholic splinter group. A group that allows priests to marry.

He was re-ordained as a Charismatic priest and married for the second time. He stated that he can now say that he has fulfilled his calling as a priest.

"I am overjoyed. "I promise to love you forever, my wife," he added.

Bishop Patrick Mulau of Kirinyaga Charismatic Church presided over the ordination ceremony, saying his church is entirely Roman Catholic but differs only in the sacrament of Marriage when priests from his Church marry.
