          A defrocked priest


Q  I thought once a priest, always a priest. ¡°You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek¡±. How about priests who, because of their immoral conduct, were removed from ministry (defrocked)?


A  ¡°Once a priest, always a priest indeed: the character of the priesthood remains for ever, even in Heaven¡¦ or Hell. However, the bishops do good to remove bad priests, who then are forbidden to use their priesthood (except to help someone in danger of death if there is no other priest available: then they may hear confession, but not give any other sacrament).


The great lesson from all that is the need to pray much for the priests. The faithful get the priest they deserve THROUGH THEIR PRAYERS! Pray for the sanctification of the priests; pray for good and holy vocations, and pray for the return and penance of wayward priests! Pray to our Lady of Compassion at the foot of the Cross!
