    Pope Francis has defrocked notorious Chilean priest Fernando Karadima, the face of the church's sexual abuse scandal in Chile. For a priest, being defrocked is the stiffest penalty short of excommunication.https://n.pr/2R7KPVk

        Excommunication is generally reserved for heresy, the denial of dogmatic teachings of the Church. One can be a horrible sinner yet not be guilty of heresy. The headline is a bit misleading.

        Too little too late unfortunately. I can't understand how all Catholics aren't former Catholics at this point.

        The return to lay state (Canon 292) is a far greater punishment for a priest and cannot be appealed once decided by pope. Very different from excommunication, which is only exclusion from sacraments. Criminals like him need to be out of ministry. And in jail.

        Don't use defrocked and stiffest in the same sentence when talking about a sex offender. 🙄

        Fuck that. I want to see him executed by way of the skull crusher. This form of execution was prevalent during the time of Pope Alexander VI (aka Rodrigo Borgia). I am sick and tired of pedophiles being allowed to continue breathing our fucking oxygen.

        What exactly do you have to do get excommunicated if molesting children doesn't do it?
