Pope Francis has met a Spanish transsexual and his fiancée at the Vatican, according to reports.
Diego Neria Lejarraga, who is a practising Catholic, met the Pontiff after writing to him in December to complain he was being treated as an outcast in his parish in Plasencia in western Spain, according to the Spanish daily Hoy.
The 48-year old, who has undergone sexual reassignment surgery, told Pope Francis in the letter that he was treated poorly by parishioners and one priest had even called him "the devil's daughter".
The Argentine Pontiff, known for phoning people unannounced, rang Mr Lejarranga twice, including on Christmas Eve, and set up the meeting.
It took place on Saturday but was kept off the official calendar, media reports said. The Vatican would neither deny nor confirm the meeting took place.
Officially the Church does not recognise sex changes but Pope Francis has urged it to show greater compassion towards sections of society which have felt excluded from its embrace.
