In Argentina Bergoglio authorized a wedding outside the Church to the son of the narcoterrorist Escobar, which is forbidden

Juan Pablo Escobar Henao alias Sebastián Marroquín

The narcoterrorist's son wrote in his book: "Pablo Escobar, mi Padre"

"In December of 2002 I honored my word and married Andrea. It occurred to us to do the Outdoor ceremony in a hotel but the problem arose that this type of event was prohibited by the Argentine Catholic Church. As always, my mother intervened and achieved the impossible: the bishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge Mario Bergoglio authorized the wedding. Against all possibility, my mother managed to speak with the now Pope Francis."

It is the obligation of the parish priest to know his parishioners well because the parishioners must be married in their own parish. The bishop can only authorize the parishioners to marry in a private chapel or in another parish.

Normally for one to marry in a parish they must be members of that parish at least 1 year and do the preparation course that lasts another year.

Although Pablo Escobar's family changed their identity when they left Colombia, his widow  became a well-known public figure in Argentina. In fact, in 2000 he had had problems with justice that were published in the press as to think that Bergoglio did not know that she was in Argentina is just wrong.
